I wouldn't entirely agree with you on that one. A skilled hypnotist can, for example, make a person think they see something that doesn't exist or respond in certain ways they might not or might not want to under normal circumstances.

Not really...
I'm a hypnotist/mentalist and a psychology student- to be honest, hypnosis comes down to compliance. Of course it's all subjective, and it could 'feel' real to the person being hypnotized, but at the end of the day it's just someone asking someone else to do something.
There's a bit more to it, pacing and leading, appealing to how humans linguistically and psychologically function, but that's primarily how people work when hypnotized. They just fake it due to social pressure, self pressure, self expectations etc.
