OK. Regardless of what you choose to do with it, I want you to be clear that you're engaging in hypnosis. Hypnosis without all the hard, complicated, induction bits, but hypnosis none the less. You need to be VERY careful about what you say and how you say it.

In particular, the unconscious mind doesn't really understand negatives at all, and will interpret just about anything as a command. So if you say "Now you don't have to want a dog anymore when you're awake!", this will be taken as a command to want a dog when she's awake.

As long as you stick to describing scenes, it's probably not a big deal, but something you need to be aware of none the less.

It would probably be an excellent idea to pick up a good book on hypnotherapy. I'm personally fond of http://www.amazon.com/Trance-Formations-Neuro-Linguistic-Programming-Structure-Hypnosis/dp/0911226230 , but that's mostly because it's the one I read first. http://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Hypnotic-Suggestions-Metaphors-Corydon/dp/039370095X looks like it might be a good choice in this particular case (since the induction is already done for you), although not for beginners. Amazon has various suggestions off of those that might also do well.

Why thank you!

The issue is there are loads of super in depth clinical books (which deal with stuff you will never need to know in this line of work) or the utter rubbish stuff that says it can make your boobs turn into alpacas or whatever. However, once you filter that there are lots of good books out there. Here are a few I suggest:

One more, for recommended reading. (I get no money from any links below, BTW. Look them up yourself if you wish.)

My friend Richard Nongard wrote this one, and it's excellent.

A nice help for learning MANY inductions, that you can then modify, and you will soon learn to do without scripts at all. https://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Hypnotic-Inductions-Norton-Professional/dp/039370324X

Another friend, Dantalion Jones. He tends a bit toward megalomania, and controlling others (which is largely impossible) but just ignore that. His techniques are quite good and he explains well.

I recommend virtually anything from Igor Ledochowski, the #1 hypnotist trainer. He's even better than me!

I hypnotize people on a regular basis, I'm not professional or anything but I do it at parties and such, and have read much of the literature on Hypnosis. I would consider myself very knowledgeable on the subject, so if you have any questions, AMA.

My first Hypnosis book (which I recommend): http://www.amazon.com/Hypnotize-Practice-Hypnosis-Hypnotherapy-Correctly/dp/0557097843/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1300034494&sr=8-6
