trance

n. daze, unconscious condition

Trance is an overarching generic term that is used to denote a variety of processes, techniques, modalities and states of mind and consciousness.Trance states may be consciously and intentionally induced, or they may occur involuntarily and unbidden.The term "trance" may be conflated with others such as meditation, play, magic, flow and prayer. It may also be conflated with the earlier generic term, altered states of consciousness, which, due to the value judgement that is embedded within the adjective "altered", is no longer used in "Consciousness Studies" discourse.
