Hypnotic suggestibility is a sliding scale. About 20% of people can’t be hypnotized at all, about 20% are easily and completely hypnotized, and the rest are suggestible to some degree. Someone who talks or walks in their sleep is usually very suggestible. Sleepwalking is basically hypnosis with a hypnotist. Still, it’s very debatable that someone can be hypnotized into doing something they don’t want to do on some level.

I was just reading an article in a shooting magazine about being “in the zone”. One person was a hypnotherapist that specializes in sports therapy - with an emphasis on shooting. She said something like “I don't, and can't, hypnotize anyone. I lead them to where they hypnotize themselves, and reaching those parts of the brain that blah, blah blah.”
