In psychiatry, a change in consciousness is referred to as borderline conditions and is considered as special conditions in which the consciousness abides when a person is in a trance, under hypnosis, meditates, is immersed autogenously or is between sleep and reality during falling asleep or waking up. A change in consciousness can occur as a result of trauma, poisoning, prolonged fasting. But you can change your mind and artificially.
