What Is a Hypnic Jerk?
Hypnosis means that the hypnotist provides hints to the subject to awaken some of his special experiences and specific behaviors. Many psychologists believe that hypnosis is similar to other general states, including relaxation, concentration and association. In a hypnotic state, a person may experience "some changes in perception, thinking, memory, and behavior", including temporary paralysis, hallucinations, and forgetting "to respond to the cues of a hypnotist"
