lose oneself
Vanish into something
To lose oneself is to become so absorbed in something that you forget your surroundings, self-consciousness, or sense of time: She lost herself in the music.
The phrase can also mean to become disoriented or confused, literally or figuratively: He lost himself in the maze of bureaucracy.
To lose oneself in work or a hobby suggests welcome escape from daily concerns.
