a page from the book

"I NOW approach a rapid study of the phenomena which are
manifested or which may be induced in hypnosis. Sometimes
the eyes close suddenly before anything has been said and the
subject falls like a lifeless mass. Sometimes the sleep comes
gradually. The eyelids grow heavy, the sight becomes confused,
the eyes get watery, open and shut alternately and finally
close. In some cases the eyelids remain motionless when
closed. In others they quiver as long as the hypnosis lasts. In
light sleep, the eye-balls retain their normal position. When
the sleep is deep, they are often rolled up and the pupils are
hidden under the upper eyelid.
Sometimes nervous subjects have muscular twitching of the
limbs and fibrillary contractions of the face while asleep. The
majority, however, are inert, or become so after suggestion.
Some subjects make reflex movements, scratch themselves, for
example, rub their hands together and change their position.
Others, on the contrary, remain perfectly quiet."
