Explanation

Being in a trance means you are so focused, sleepy, or deeply lost in thought that you stop noticing things around you. It can happen when you’re daydreaming, hypnotized, or deeply moved by something like music or prayer. Your body is still, your eyes may be open, but your mind is somewhere else, as if you’re not fully awake.
