Stupor is a common condition which presents itself in response to or during emergency medical services. It is defined as a clinical syndrome of akinesis and mutism but with relative preservation of conscious awareness.
Stupor is not the same thing as a coma or a vegetative state. For example, some people who become injured suddenly with a concussion or some other cognitive impairment resulting from injury enter a stupor, where they are partially aware of their surroundings, or they become unconscious until they are revived by themselves or by others.

It's a somewhat unresponsive state. Conscious, but inactive mentally. Hypnotized or in a state similar to hypnosis.
It could be like in a trance, but even a trance is somewhat more active.
Some of the other answers are better than this one.
