Hypnotic experience involves three main factors: absorption, dissociation, and suggestibility.
Absorption is an immersion in a central experience at the expense of contextual orientation.[23-25]
When one is intensely involved in a central object of consciousness, one tends to ignore perceptions,
thoughts, memories, or motor activities at the periphery. Since hypnotized individuals are intensely
absorbed in their trance experience, many routine experiences that would ordinarily be conscious occur
out of conscious awareness. As a result, even rather complex emotional states or sensory experiences
may be dissociated.
