A condition, often simulating death, in which there is a total suspension of the power of voluntary movement, with abolition of all evidences of mental activity and the reduction to a minimum of all the vital functions so that the patient lies still and apparently unconscious of surrounding objects, while the pulsation of the heart and the breathing, although still present, are almost or altogether imperceptible
three of the four examples clearly denote a swoon or faint; at Jane Grey's exit to be beheaded Guilford "falls in a trance" (Sir Thomas Wyatt, 5 2 150); Arthur makes his fatal leap and then delivers his dying speech "after he was from his trance" (2 Troublesome Reign, A3r); Alvida, after wooing another man, "Faints" at the entrance of King Rasni and then "riseth as out of a trance" (Looking Glass for London, 1576, 1585-6); a swoon is likely in Folio Othello where Othello "Falls in a Trance" (2420, 4 1 43--Quarto "He falls down," I3v), although Iago tells Cassio "My lord is fall'n into an epilepsy "
Induced by the therapist Similar to the one that occurs spontaneously in sleepwalking or daydreaming Someone in this condition can perform tasks efficiently, avoid hazards, obey instructions and speak lucidly
