It’s a fact that people with highly developed imagination enter the hypnotic state with greater ease than others. Thus, artists, musicians and poets are proved to be the best hypnosis subjects. There are very tangible reasons for this, the prominent being the fact that those in the creative world experience greater accessibility to the subconscious owing to the nature of their greater sensitivity to internal and external impressions.

On of my best friends is a composer. He creates his most inspirational music themes during sleep. Upon the moment of inspiration, he automatically awakens and puts his conception on paper while the melody is still in his mind. Most famous geniuses of the past have achieved inspiration in the same way, while being fast asleep.

Artists are the most sensitive of all people since they are much closer to their subconscious, which gives them access to feelings, ideas and thoughts that the rest of us cannot even comprehend. This sensibility is the reason for their genius, as well as the reason for their susceptibility to hypnosis.

when a hypnotist tells such a subject that he is asleep, he assumes the trance state with the least of difficulty. They are indeed the best subjects to have, which of course does not mean that they are the only subjects you should have.
