Similar to Age Progression, Day-Dreaming and Rehearsal help the leader or team to image a new business behavior or imagine a new product. These interventions are different from Age Progression in that they are either not tied to a specific task or not focused on an exact future. In each of these interventions, the participant is fully relaxed into a hypnotic state and guided to a calm and perhaps inspiring inner place. With Rehearsal, for instance, a salesperson might image going over and over his or her presentation to prospective customers who are not yet known and thus perfect his or her pitch. Often, the trial run is imaged first in slow motion so all the details are memorized; after such a sequence, the process is speeded up more and more until it is run at “normal” tempo.
In advanced Rehearsal, the same salesperson might do “trial runs” with alternate choices of language, tempo, organization of points, etc. that respond to differences in the selling environment. Doing this in a hypnotic trance also allows the individual (or team) to make changes and experiment without real-world consequences.
Day-Dreaming may include Rehearsal, but the former intervention is more free-floating, a kind of brainstorming of ideas that is especially powerful when done with team members in a hypnotic state. It might include, for instance, imaging prospective customers’ telling team members what innovations they want. In thus rousing their creativity, participants surface many otherwise unseen potentials, as well as enhance their ability to respond creatively in the moment.
In both Day-Dreaming and Rehearsal, hitherto unseen risks may also arise from the subconscious, which has a much wider purview than does ordinary consciousness. Whatever risks emerge can then be dealt with through other interventions.
With Hypno-Dreaming, an even greater positive outcome is likely because the individual or team members go into a deeper hypnotic state. After bringing the participants to a calm inner place, the Business Hypnotist invites them to image themselves “lying down” in that space, going to “sleep,” and dreaming in that “sleep” state about innovations in products or ways to enhance performances, etc. Subsequent to coming out of hypnosis, team members can compare what emerged for each of them and then possibly go back into hypnosis for further brainstorming.
