Do you think it is possible to use hypnosis to create some kind of HUD in my vision that displays information gathered and processed by the subconsciousness while being conscious?

You can get really fucked up with hypnosis. Never, ever try it with anyone less than an expert.

Not that I know of. Whenever you see something it immediately goes to your conscious mind. Afterwards it goes to your subconscious mind. They closest thing that we can get to a HUD in real life is this thing called Augmented Reality.

Hypnosis is just suggestibility. It doesn’t really do anything.

Hypnosis can be used to make you see things that are not actually there.

I read a study once where a person was hypnotized into thinking his friend was in the room there with them. He could “see” his friend, describe his clothes, even have a conversation.

Then the guy’s friend was actually brought into the room for real. The hypnotized person did not see two of his friend at that point. Just the one… the real one.

Point is, I think it possible for hyponosis to make you see just about anything you want, a HUD, whatever. The problem as I see it is that you’re limited by what you actually know to be real. Hypnosis is very much limited by the rational part of your brain and your own willingness to “play along”.
