Is it true that I can be put under hypnosis without my consent?

No one can be hypnotized without their consent. It is impossible, as far as I know, to make anybody enter any state of consciousness they do not wish to. In order to experience hypnosis, you have to consent to it and want to. Now, when you experience natural hypnosis, i.e. during a daydream or when you're reading a book or a film, it happens without your conscious awareness. But you can't make that happen. I can't make it happen.
