18/30 _The impairment of memory_ in a peculiar way. In the hypnotic condition all affairs of the ordinary life are forgotten; on the other hand, after waking the events of the hypnotic condition are forgotten. So a person who is frequently hypnotized has two continuous memories: one for the events of his normal life, exercised only when he is normal; and one for the events of his hypnotic periods, exercised only when he is hypnotized. _Suggestibility_ to a remarkable degree. By this is meant the tendency of the subject to have in reality any mental condition which is suggested to him. |
