Surreally is a library of hypnotic journeys that shift your state of being: from overthinking to flow, from fear to freedom. You close your eyes and press play. Ginny’s voice guides you into theta, the hypnotic brainwave, where you can finally break your unconscious patterns.

How it works
Choose your journey.
Scroll the Library and pick what you need today.
Headphones on, eyes closed.
Press play and Ginny’s voice guides you under, over an 8D soundscape built for headphones.
Let it work.
You rest for fifteen to thirty minutes while the journey does the work. Nothing to figure out.
Two ways in
Shift a state, or rewire a pattern.
Some things shift in one sitting, like a cluttered head before a big day. Deeper patterns took years to install, so they get a series: seven days of sessions on the same pattern, one a day. Both live in the same Library.
The single journey
One track, one sitting. Press play, close your eyes, and let it shift how you feel today.
The series
Seven days on one pattern, like the Presence challenge for doomscrolling. Each day builds on the last.
Start with a single track. The series will be there when you want to go deeper.
The Library
Hypnotic journeys to shift your state of being.
Some things you can’t talk or think your way out of. Each journey is a hypnosis recording you listen to with your eyes closed, fifteen to thirty minutes long. While you relax, it works with the part of your mind that runs the pattern, so the shift happens without you forcing it.

The Manifesto
An app that guides you
to the wisdom within.
One pattern at a time
An experiment in letting go.
Surreally is hypnosis, recorded. Each journey guides you into the state you drift through on the edge of sleep, where the unconscious is open and listening. You do not analyse anything. You listen, and you let go.
Twenty minutes, most days.
The only thing you have to give up is the belief that change has to be hard work. You lie down, you press play, and you rest. If you came here to optimise yourself harder, you came to the wrong place.
What was always underneath.
Suffering is created by the mind. It can also end there. Beneath the noise and the stories there is a calmer, wiser part of you. The journeys are a way to reach it.
The Founder
Why I made this.
Ginny Wan · Founder, Surreal Experiments
BA Philosophy, UCL. MSc Management, London Business School.
NLP and hypnotherapy under Richard Bandler, Paul McKenna and Stephen Brooks.
Watkins’ Mind Body Spirit. Guest lecturer at UCL and Sotheby’s Institute of Art.
You have done the work. You have read the books, sat through the therapy, taken the courses. And somehow you might still feel burned out, disconnected from your body, your creativity, your flow, your sense of purpose and meaning, overthinking and procrastinating.
I know that feeling. I lived in my head for years too: a philosophy degree, business school, a 6-figure bootstrapped business built on people-pleasing. Then burnout and health issues forced me to reexamine my life choices.
What I found is that we run our lives on the conscious mind alone, about 50 bits a second, while the other 10,999,950 bits of unconscious intelligence sit ignored. As Carl Jung put it, “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” Until we become conscious of the patterns running us, we live inside a matrix of unconscious programming, repeating the past.
I spent the next few years investigating exactly how we were programmed, training with hypnotherapists like Paul McKenna and Richard Bandler, learning how unconscious scripts are written and, more importantly, how they can be rewritten. The conclusion was undeniable: our unconscious is a hidden superpower.
This matters more than ever now. AI will out-compute our 50-bit conscious mind, and it has already mastered the logical models of the world’s greatest thinkers. But it cannot tap into the unconscious. It cannot dream, it cannot feel, it cannot reach your body’s intelligence or sense your intuition. It will never do the deep, sacred, soulful work that makes us human. That wild, creative intelligence, the 10,999,950 bits no algorithm can touch, is exactly what I want to help you reconnect with.
You are not short on knowledge. The patterns live deeper than knowledge.
So I built Surreally to reach them. I write and record every journey myself, using the hypnotherapy I trained in.
Most of our problems are created by the conscious mind. By tapping into the superpower of the unconscious, you uncover the wisdom within.
How this is different
Most apps calm the surface. This goes deeper.
Holistic: mind, body and energy
Most modalities solve the block from one angle, so results plateau. We work all three layers a pattern lives in: the mind that holds your beliefs, the body that stores somatic memory, and the energy that carries the charge underneath. Each stores and releases differently, so lasting change has to rewire all three.
The unconscious, where the patterns live
Your conscious mind is only the tip of the iceberg. The unconscious beneath it is vastly more powerful, the seat of your intuition and the somatic wisdom your thinking mind cannot reach, and that is where we work.
The wisdom already within you
We don’t hand you answers or ask you to outsource your truth to an external authority. We ask you to think for yourself and uncover what you already know. The wisdom was always within you.
This Is For
For the ones who hear the call.
Willing to look at their own shadow without flinching. Those who know that pushing through discomfort and facing the truth are required to quantum jump to the best version of themselves. The ones willing to admit that the matrix they are trapped inside may have been built by their own mind.
Whose ideas are too expansive to be contained in the space and time of this reality. Whose thoughts travel from one galaxy to the next. Who need clarity to sift through these ideas and ground them, one at a time, to inspire the world.
Who lie awake at night with a mind that will not stop. Who have tried meditation and spent the whole sit thinking. A guided journey gives that mind somewhere to go.
The ones with wild dreams paralysed by inner fears that keep them from acting. The ones who do not need more discipline. They simply need to meet the fear beneath the resistance.
The ones who hear whispers from beyond the obvious. The ones who know that dreams are messages from the soul, calling us to align with our higher purpose.
Tired of hardcore materialists telling them to reduce consciousness to matter, worship logic, and exile feelings. The ones who know, deep down, that the answer to the question they have been stuck on for ages lies in their own inner knowing.
Who have lived too long in the head, and have forgotten to tune in to the wisdom that lives in the body.
The ones eager to Know Thyself, fully. Who treat self-knowledge as the longest journey and the highest art, and would rather meet themselves honestly than be admired for who they are not.
