When do you enter trance?

At what point do you enter trance? Is it the moment that the hypnotist tells you to sleep? That moment where you drop away from the world, into sweet relaxing sleepy oblivion?
Or is it before that? When your brain is struggling to find the thoughts that were, a few minutes before, running through it? When your silly little mind just gives in and accepts surrender?
Maybe it’s before then. Maybe it’s when your body starts to relax, as your hypnotist’s words grant you that peaceful comfort, that precursor to dropping.
Or maybe. Maybe it’s at the start. They ask you to look into their eyes, or at a swinging watch, or crystal, or at a point on the wall. Or maybe they ask you to close your eyes. And in that moment. That instant, you say, in your head, yes. Yes, to their control.
Though, in fairness, it doesn’t matter when. Whether it’s when they first start speaking, when they cause your body to relax, when your mind shuts down, or when you actually drop. Because it all feels so good, and you enjoy feeling good. Don’t you?
