Welcome to Night Vale and Phantom of the Opera both contain hypnotic inductions written into their scripts nearly literally word-for-word how I or people I know would use them and tbh I’d say this is a trend that should be adopted more in media, but I can’t see many other films/books/plays/podcasts accomplishing it with as much subtlety and finesse and quality as Phantom and Night Vale
I still remember sitting on the subway listening to Night Vale and having this fleeting moment of “this would be a really nice set-up for an induction, I wonder if they… Oh hey, YEP.”
I feel like good trance = good storytelling on some level.
