" People are constantly going in and out of trance. When someone is staring out a window or reading a book and does not notice another person entering the room, or the passage of time, this is an example of trance. When we go to a movie, our minds enter the trance state, temporarily permitting ourselves to enter into the world of the film, and losing track of what is going on around us... We say we suspend judgment, but in reality the film entrances us, so that we agree with the premise of the reality portrayed in the film. "
