I think it's very important for everyone involved in a trance (or even a guided meditation) to be able to head off on another track if they need to. I'm concerned that the soldiers will NOT feel that freedom, and therefore miss something they may truly need because it was not "in the script".

I hate the thought of them looking at the subconscious like so much fodder to shape into what they need it to be.
