Dissociation from thoughts leads to a thoughtless mind in meditation and hypnosis.An empty vessel can be filled full of water. Similarly, pranshakti would cover fully the empty mind which results in hypnotic power.Indian Rishis called it Sammohan shastra.
Now take the case of dissociative mental illness where the patient loses continuity of thoughts. Possession may happen in this dissociated mind .This is like negative energy entering mind
Now let us see the positive side in dissociation and occupance by divinity in it. In the case of parakaaya pravesh,the sadhak disidentifies with himself and enters another dead body with his prana and mind.Shankaracharya has performed this magical act in his life.
Yogis say that most people travels out of their body using Astral body in dream and before getting up from sleep, they reenters the body.Mental illnesses like sleep paralysis can result in person getting kidnapped and taken away by unknown powers from outside.Ramayan has story of Rama and lakshmana getting abducted in sleep and taken away to the nether-world by Ahiravan,who was Ravana's brother ,and Hanuman rescues Rama and lakshmana from them.
Dissociation followed by flow of pranashakti is always positive,but when possessed by negative powers it manifest as mental illness.
