a name introduced as a label to make a person feel that his
state has altered and that he has gone into a
state where his
memory is very good or where he can do something he couldn't ordinarily d o before. The
actuality is that he is able to do it all the
time anyway. It is not a strange
state. The person is wide awake, but merely by asking him to
close his eyes he is technically in
reverie.
