Trance is often described as "any state of awareness or consciousness other than normal waking consciousness" (see here) - but that is too vague, and covers sleep state awareness states such as lucid dreaming, hypnosis, etc. Rampa described trance as a state entered after meditation - which I dispute, as not all meditation leads to or is trance-like in nature.
For me, trance is probably best defined along the lines of:
a deliberately intended state of enhance spiritual and/or psychic awareness, including of nonphysical realmsI know people enter such states accidentally, but I consider such "accidents" need to be referred to along those lines. And drug-states of consciousness are trips, not a proper trance.
