Can I be hypnotised against my will?

Against your will would mean against your deliberation. In that case yes, you can. A hypnotist has to be able to change your 'will'. If not your behaviour would not change.

You can be hypnotised without your knowledge and consent which is what I think this question really means. That happens all the time. If it didn't you wouldn't have any beliefs or desires or emotional responses and you wouldn't need a hypnotist or some other form of help to get rid of the unwanted stuff.

You can not be hypnotised against your disinterest or in most cases against your disbelief. Fortunately even the sceptic 'believes' in hypnosis, they just don't know it consciously.
