Is it possible that hypnotists just see dreams instead of the past, as they're both part of the subconcious?
Assuming it is all just part of the subconcious, if a hypnotist regresses you, but you 'land' somewhere when you were asleep, can the hypnotist just read the dream you're having, and confuse it with reality?
Just in case I go to a hypnotist, get regressed, and say I'm being chased by ghosts because he'd caught a point in my life when I was dreaming, and he thinks it's real.
If the memories he's accessing is part of my subconcious, and if my dreams are part of my subconcious, this surely isn't as daft as it sounds?

I have a couple theories about that. The subject describes the scene - the hypnotist doesn't "read it". The subject isn't lying under hypnosis so there are a couple possibilities.
One I think possibly the subject is recalling a scene from a book or movie and is putting themselves in that place as though they were really there.
Second I think it could be memories "inherited" from a mother and even from a mothers mother. Much like a bird inherits the instinct to build a nest.
It is an interesting subject. I am a hypnotist and I have tried regression on many subjects. I have had success with varying degrees in less then 25% of patients so it isn't something every patient can see.
