REM has nothing whatever to do with hypnosis. Braid used hypnosis to operate on their eyes, he was an optical surgeon, REM would have been unfortunate.
Hypnosis describes the giving and acceptance of suggestion. That is all it is.

Trance is a result of hypnosis it is not the hypnosis itself.

This is all old school. Hypnosis is not a trance state. At no time does anyone in hypnosis lose voluntary control. Subjects are never out of control and do eveything asked voluntarily.
