Answer:
hypnosis involves a special state of consciousness in which consciousness is split into separate components.
Explanation:
The divided consciousness view of hypnosis states that hypnosis produces a dissociation of consciousness into two simultaneous components. In a stream of consciousness, hypnotized people are following the hypnotist's commands; But in another stream of consciousness, these people are acting as hidden observers, aware of what is happening.
For example, during hypnosis, an individual may follow the hypnotist's command not to feel pain, but this individual may be aware of the pain at the same time.
