Out-of-it state (6)
I believe the answer is:
trance
'out-of-it state' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for trance that I've seen before include "Sleep-like state perhaps induced by hypnosis" , "State or period of unconsciousness" , "Ecstasy" , "Dream-like state" , "State of abstraction" .)
