“You are falling into a trance.”
“Looks more like a hole to me.”
“Lamont, you’re not even trying.”
“Dude, I’m sorry, but I don’t really WANT to be hypnotized.”
“Why didn’t you say so? The book says the participant must be willing.”
“I’m not really willing, Dude. Sorry.”
“I thought we could remember MORE of our past lives if we could hypnotize each other.”
“MORE? But would remember what we remembered during the hypnotic trance?”
“I set up this recording system here so it wouldn’t matter if we remembered it or not.”
“Huh. That’s an interesting idea. How many lives do you remember, Dude?”
“I haven’t counted. Mostly I remember the lives we’ve shared because, I think, we’ve reinforced the memories by talking about them. That’s why I thought this would be cool.”
“I could try to hypnotize you. I think you’re more, uh, suggestible than I am anyway.”
“Is that good?”
“For this, yeah.”
“OK.”
“Are you comfortable?”
“Yeah.”
“Is this thing turned on?”
“Just press the red button when you’re ready.”
“You are falling into a trance.”
“I think it’s a hole.”

Lamont and Dude are characters I came up with a few years ago. They have the uncanny ability to remember many of their past lives which gives them a unique perspective on life, the universe and everything.

I think those two should leave hypnotism alone, you never know what they might discover and Einstein and Stephen Hawkins might be out of a job.
I agree. Looks like it’s not working out anyway. 🙂
