Whether it's hypnosis, meditation, whatever. The ideal we push is a perfectly blank and empty mind. That's not always possible. Especially for people just starting out.
The goal is not necessarily complete lack of thought, but the ability to let go of thoughts instead of letting them pull you along and lead you down paths.
The practice is to recognize the thought, observe it, and then let it disappear when you no longer need it. Don't follow it to the next step. Don't let it take you where it wants to go. Observe the thought, let it go, and then return to the focus.
Complete blankness is the ideal, but not always a realistic goal.
