I've heard some people and churches put it in the "dabbling with the occult category" along with spells and ouija boards. What do they believe is dangerous about it?

Hypnosis is not a supernatural state; but it is a vulnerable state. Even leaving aside the issue of religion, there are risks involved, and hypnosis is not completely understood. Hypnosis can, among other thing, give rise to false memories, which may in turn cause havoc in families. I am not against hypnosis being used appropriately, but it is essential to get a skilled and ethical practitioner who also has common sense.
One reason that a lot of religious people think hypnosis is occult may be, that a lot of hypnotists believe in reincarnation. This is not in fact related to any religion that teaches reincarnation; they base this belief on experiences of "past lives" under hypnosis. Considering the known phenomenon of false memories arising from hypnosis, it seems odd to me that so many people accept these hypnotic experiences as accurate. It is relatively easy to learn how to induce a hypnotic state, but understanding the mental processes involved is much more challenging.

religion doesn't like competition. Using the same techniques religion uses to indoctrinate people for non-religious purposes makes the use for the religious purposes seems less miraculous. Its the same reason some religious people have problems with science when it goes against its teaching, they can't stand the competition.

Hypnosis is dangerous (in my particular church's view) because you are submitting your subconscious thought process to another individual's control. They can implant motives that you wouldn't otherwise allow yourself to consider. Most hypnotists, if not all, use sorcery to accomplish their clandestine intentions. Sorcery, in most Christians' views, is the practice of luciferianism. A Christian would never desire to have another force influence their minds except the Spirit of the Creator God through His Son, Jesus Christ.

I don't really care much, but I guess some people would say that it possible dements the mind in some way, and is some form of betrayal.

Some people have become possessed through it. It is essentially allowing yourself to be influenced. We as Christians should never give over our mental capacities to someone else like that.

You're giving your will and agency to another, and that's dangerous. Your agency was given to you by God, and the devil tries to take it away. (Consider how much freedom you have in jail, for instance). It is not of God to give something such as your capacity for choice away to a random guy on the street.
