Yes, in fact, within the hypnotic state, we are actually hyper-aware of what is going on around us. 

Your subconscious mind knows and understands the reasons and the issues behind the various challenges or symptoms you have been experiencing. Hypnosis simply allows one to bypass the critical mind and connect with the subconscious, where habits, patterns, behaviors, addictions, and memories are stored. The whole time you are fully aware of what is happening!
