Hypnosis Helpful Hints Bulletin

The subjects' reports themselves are an interesting novelty, rich in valuable introspective information, demonstrating that the subject in the state of oneirosis is distinctly critical and discriminative. After having been in the state but once, no one will maintain that hypnosis is necessarily oppression and enslavement.
For comparison, take the following description of oneirosis, dealing with a group experiment in education, by an objective outside observer, a newspaper reporter : "A new approach to the problem of student attentiveness was demonstrated at City College last night by Dr. Ralph B. Winn, instructor in the Department of Philosophy and Psychology, who has developed a 'type of hypnosis in which the subject retains the free activity of the mind'."Dr. W·, who calls the state produced oneirosis- the prefix meaning 'dream'-has been experimenting with a single volunteer student for several months, he made known. Last Wednesday, with a group of ten young men and women, who had received their parents' permission to participate, he began more formal tests, and last night, after some persuasion, allowed a few outsiders to watch and hear the new form of teaching.
