A tedious journey.
A state in which the soul seems to have passed
out of the body into another state of being, or to be rapt into visions; an
ecstasy.
A condition, often simulating
death, in which there is a total suspension of the power of voluntary
movement, with abolition of all evidences of mental activity and the
reduction to a minimum of all the vital functions so that the patient lies
still and apparently unconscious of surrounding objects, while the
pulsation of the heart and the breathing, although still present, are
almost or altogether imperceptible.
