Italian term or phrase: non ci serve andare così agli estremi del possibile per divertirci
Questo effetto è, almeno in teoria, leggermente più difficile da conseguire del primo tipo di condizionamento trattato (le suggestioni che alterano la realtà esterna), perché implicano la creazione, da parte del subconscio, di allucinazioni che non possono essere in primo luogo razionalmente comprese dal conscio, ma sono realizzabili senza alcuna difficoltà se l'ipnotizzatore è esperto nel formulare suggestioni a livello sonnambulistico, anche se veramente non ci serve andare così agli estremi del possibile per divertirci.

disagree  James (Jim) Davis: I was about to agree thinking yes my answer was wordy, then re-reading the context AND as a one time hypnotist, the question of what is possible with hypnotism and what is not possible with hypnotism is precisely what the author is talking abuout here!
