45 - Retrogressive Hypnosis

【逆行催眠、gyakkou saimin】

Retrogressive hypnosis is the process of hypnotizing a person to go back in time to a past point of consciousness, thereby evoking memories or re-experiencing events from that time.

Retrogressive hypnosis requires the subject to be placed under a deep hypnotic trance and is considered to be one of the most difficult types of hypnosis.


In 1967, a woman in the USA who claimed to have been abducted by aliens was put into retrogressive hypnosis, and she clearly recalled her previously lost memories of the spaceship.

According to her recollection, after being taken to the spaceship, she was biopsied and then taken to an alien planet, where she saw buildings and creatures she had never seen before.


It is also said that retrogressive hypnosis can bring back memories of a previous life, i.e. before being born. One American woman used retrogressive hypnosis to awaken memories of her previous life.

In her previous life, she was a 19th-century Irish woman who not only recounted her life and her city in great detail, but even her speech was in an Irish accent.


However, some argue that memories brought back under hypnosis are in fact hallucinations or manifestations of multiple personalities. However, it is also thought that visual information that we do not remember or think we did not see is still stored in the brain as memories, but only unconsciously, thus, the possibility that retrogressive hypnosis may bring about a vivid reconstruction of the past cannot be denied at present.
