Ditto. In scientific terms, trance has to do with the pattern of brainwaves. Alpha is the lightest trance, and happens when you're awake as well as when you're asleep. The deepest is Delta, but it only happens when you're in deep sleep. The deepest kind of "aware" trance is a Theta wave pattern, but the awareness is usually internally driven (in Alpha, you may well be fully aware of sounds around you, smells, things going on with your body, etc.).
Wikipedia has a really interesting page on trance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trance
Worth reading, IMHO.
May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.
