dreamlike state
Hazy mental fog
A dreamlike state is a mental condition resembling the experience of dreaming while awake—characterized by altered perception, hazy awareness, or a sense of unreality.
It may arise from exhaustion, medication, trauma, or simply deep absorption: She wandered through the museum in a dreamlike state.
The phrase often describes surreal or disorienting experiences: The whole evening had a dreamlike state to it.
