There are probably few differences between the states except that meditation and self-hypnosis are results of concious decisions to achieve that state, while dissociation is an unconcious coping style (and therefore for me more frightening because I don't have control). I also think dissociation on the far end of the spectrum involves an amnestic quality, where you lose actual time- hours sometimes days. This doesn't happen with self-hypnosis or meditation. I am talking about the far end of dissociation, not the common type that everyone experiences- like forgetting how you got somewhere driving. Hope this helps- judy
