Have you ever heard of the placebo effect? I wonder how you know what you are feeling is not just that?
I'm gonna do my own little experiment on this soon, and I'll have my friend be watching and writing down what happens, just so I don't put my bias into anything. This is super interesting.. I think it might be true

You serious about all this? I'm not one to believe much in hypnosis, but I've seen what it does to people on stage, making them think they're dogs, or that a tube of rubber is a killer snake. If this is all real.. That's kinda cool. Mind pointing me in the direction of the Pony Hypnosis post?

Scientific or not, it doesn't change what you believe and feel. The Placebo effect, unless I'm wrong, means that one takes a medicine, for example, that actually does nothing. However, even though the medicine does nothing, the person believes it does, therefore, in some cases, causing the effect the medicine would have had to actually happen, albeit in a smaller way. So, even if this hypnosis thing doesn't really 'alter my personality', I believe it might.. So let's just see what happens. Maybe I will feel like a pony. Wouldn't that be awesome?
