Funny reason why Freud dropped hypnosis as his technique

Quote from Case 3, Miss Lucy R (Freud), Studies on Hysteria, Freud & Breuer, 1895:

"Furthermore, I soon began to tire of issuing assurances and commands such as: 'You are going to sleep!...sleep!' and of hearing the patient, as so often happened when the degree of hypnosis was light, remonstrate with me: 'But, doctor, I'm not asleep'"
