Consider a door that swings inward and has a "Pull" sign affixed.
Which would be easier for a hypnotist to achieve?
1. Having a subject read the sign as "Push" and have him struggle against the door to no avail?
2. Have the subject read the sign as "Pull" but have the meaning of the word in his mind mean "push" and have him similarly struggle to open the door?
