trance (trns)n.
1. A hypnotic, cataleptic, or ecstatic state.
2. Detachment from one's physical surroundings, as in contemplation or daydreaming.
3. A semiconscious state, as between sleeping and waking; a daze.



to me trance is great its when the music takes me away from the "normal" world and i have no worries...i think

Definition I like the most:

A state in which the soul seems to have passed out of the body into another state of being, or to be rapt into visions; an ecstasy.

I love trance when I'm driving, the ride is just so smooth and enjoyable. Just pop in a good set like Oakie@Liverpool and enjoy the ride.

Hehe, oh yeah. Especially at night, when your all alone on the highway, coming back from a party or something. Once a banging trancer comes on, the head starts bobbin' and the foot starts pushing.

trance =D

Trance for has been the part of me in everyday life. It feels like the skies seem so much bigger yet there's that strong power inside your body & soul that gives you the ecstatic feeling the bursts into happiness! If I'm sad or mad or just want to be happy I pop in a tune & everything seems to disappear behind me... Sometimes I like hard trance or mellow trance, a lot of times the slow tempo that leads into vocals & anthems that mix in with the perfect beat... I can't get enough of trance...

/// by the way I fell asleep @ a rave on the floor 'cause the DJ was playing some boring trance...wish I brought some blanket & a pillow that night ///

Trance is emotional, powerful, electronica.

the feeling of being in a trance is when you are not concious in this world, but you are absorbed in something else. (like if you were in a crowded, noisy room but all you hear and see is one thing, you are in a trance.)

just my made up shit.

I feel as an individual that trance is just an extended moment when you stop thinking and just feel. That is what trance is to me.
