tranced
Lost in reverie
Tranced describes a state of absorbed, dreamlike focus—as if under a spell or in a trance.
Someone tranced by music or beauty is transfixed, their attention wholly captured: She sat tranced before the painting, unaware of the crowd around her.
The word suggests passive surrender to something mesmerizing.
