It is a sense of relaxation, both mental and physical.
"It is a relaxation such as I have never felt before, deep, complete and a total absence of all tension."
Your attention sharpens. When attention is directed toward specific experiences or visualizations, your focus is so tuned that other thoughts do not intrude.
"It was an easy way to detach from my current life problems and focus on other issues."
"I'm normally worrying about tomorrow- studies, roommate, job. I can relax and focus on the things I am trying to work out."
Under hypnosis, your images are transformed into a dream-like perception so that objects actually appear to be there, as if they could be picked up.
"My visualizations under hypnosis were much like a day dream to me, a sort of believed-in-imagination."
