altered state
This term is primarily used in psychological, psychiatric, and spiritual discourses to describe a non-ordinary experience of consciousness. It carries a neutral to clinical tone, though it is frequently employed in counter-culture or New Age contexts to describe transcendental experiences. Unlike "hallucination," which implies a sensory error or pathology, an "altered state" refers to the overall shift in the quality of awareness.
Because this is a compound noun acting as a single semantic unit, it follows standard countability rules for the head noun "state." It is typically used with an indefinite article ("an altered state") when referring to a specific instance of shifted consciousness.
Meanings
A condition of consciousness that differs significantly from the normal waking state.
Enter an altered state.
