Subconscious

The idea of subconsciousness is a very interesting, and disturbing thought.  That's why many people are drawn to things such as hypnosis.

As a child, I never believed hypnosis actually worked until I began to understand that we have a subconscious.  In fact, I thought it was just some trick someone invented and made up for a book or to fool people.  But hypnosis is a real thing in which the operator get into a persons subconsciousness and speaks commands or tries to reach hidden information.  It's almost like sleep talking, when someone has a full conversation with you at night but in the morning remembers none of it. 

Hypnosis is very useful to doctors though.  It can be used to better understand the human mind, how it responds to stimuli during unconsciousness.  Hypnosis is also used for relaxation, and may be able to be used to fix minor mental disorders, such as someone's irrational fear of puppies.  All of this though must be used carefully, since one is dealing with the subconscious mind, but it is very interesting to watch.

So here is an interesting video of David Tennant on Trick or Treat reading someone's mind. It's quite obviously not fake because they try to be honest about it, even though he is a famous actor. 
The interesting thing about this video is that instead of manipulating him to do something, he reaches into the future and actually predicts it. I hope you can enjoy the craziness of the subconscious mind!

(There is a part 1 and a part 3, but I find this one the most fascinating and believable.)
