trance

Definition:

A trance is a state of mind in which a person is awake but is not aware of what is around him because he is seeing and experiencing something else.

In the New Testament, this word describes the supernatural state of mind that Peter and Paul had when God spoke to them in a vision.
In each case, Peter and Paul were in prayer when they experienced a trance state.
God is the one who caused them to be in a trance.
The term "trance" is a different word from "vision" or "dream" and should be translated differently.
The expression "fell into a trance" means to "suddenly be in a sleeplike condition" while still awake.
