I don’t have the foggiest clue what a ‘mind’ actually is – all I know is that they exist
right...

On the other hand, when we sleep, we have complete and unrestricted access to our imagination and memory, and we have the ability to change and manipulate our deepest thoughts and behavioural patterns at will, yet we lack the ability to logically process, direct and rationalise our experiences.
[..]
Whilst sleeping we lose the use of our critical faculties, but gain complete access to our imagination, memory and the deep-rooted automatic processes. When sleeping we can use our limitless creative powers to solve problems that may have emerged during waking hours, and to be able to easily reap the rewards of past experience by searching through buried memories. It also means that when sleeping we have the ability to easily change any deep-rooted behaviours on a mere whim… but we can’t – not intentionally anyway – due to lacking the critical thinking abilities required to [decide what to do, why to do it, how to go about it, and then to do it!]
Lucid dreamers who can control their dreams must have amazing mental powers...
How do you know we have complete access to imagination and memory? You're saying "oh, we have complete access to our memory, we just can't use it, but it's there!". Did you know that when you're asleep, often a pink flying unicorn will appear next to your bed? You just can't ride it due to lacking the critical thinking abilities required to [opening your eyes, getting out of bed, riding it].
I think you might be confusing accessing memory with
processing memory.

'Conversational hypnosis' is based upon the faulty premise that hypnotism is 'just suggestion', when it is much, much more than that. When you're using so-called conversational hypnosis what you're actually doing is utilising psycholinguistic phenomena to inhibit the function of your subjects frontal lobes, and to increase the activation of the temporal, parietal and occular cortex's...
Lots of cortexes in this one, but you're not saying anything. And what's an occular cortex? Did you mean 'occipital'?

Badly written explanation of hypnosis, and how term is misused:
When you're sleeping the brain is able to reprogram itself by altering synaptic pathways and neuronal structures... when you're hypnotised you're asleep, and because you're asleep, during hypnosis you're able to instantly restructure and alter your brain/mind, and the results tend to be permanent.
When you're hypnotised you're asleep? Interesting. The American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (
http://www.asch.net/Public/GeneralInfoo ... fault.aspx) literally says: "Hypnosis is not sleep".

'Conversational Hypnosis' isn't what it says it is.
What, exactly, does it say it is?
