trancelike
Dazed and distant
Trancelike describes a state resembling a trance—dazed, unfocused, absorbed to the point of seeming disconnected from surroundings.
Someone in a trancelike state may stare blankly, move mechanically, or appear hypnotized: She walked through the house in a trancelike daze.
The word suggests consciousness without full awareness or engagement.
