This is doubtless true whenever the subject is asked to do something unusual or absurd. For were he to remember instructions distinctly, not only would his common sense resent the suggestion as clearly strange or foolish, but even the prestige of the practician might be damaged by doubts and resistance. Suppose the subject is instructed, on hearing the word "sunset," to stand on a chair and to sing some popular song in a loud voice. As the order is being executed, he may regard it as a joke, but still he will not deny that his conduct, at the moment, was somewhat ridiculous. And he will perhaps wonder what might be the connection between scientific research and such meaningless experiments.There is no need, however, to be engaged in trifling experiments. Hypnosis is, after all, a natural phenomenon rather than entertainment. There certainly are many serious and fruitful fields for post-hypnotic suggestion.
