Torch Hypnosis torch·hip·no·sis
n. Abbr. TH
An altered mental state in which a person can operate a torch in the expected, safe, and correct manner with no recollection of having consciously done so. In this state, an individual's conscious mind is generally elsewhere, while seemingly still processing the information needed to operate a torch. This state is often induced by staring at fire and can be exacerbated if there is something spinning in the torch operator's field of vision. It most commonly occurs in a background of fatigue.
n. Abbr. TH
A process of automaticity.
