Trance is descriptive of an experience in which a person received a revelation by supernatural means ( Acts 10:10; Acts 11:5; Acts 22:17 ). In these instances, the author of Acts, in reference to the experiences of Peter and Paul, seemed to be interested in showing that the trance was only a vehicle for a revelation from God. Luke illustrated that the trances that Peter and Paul experienced “happened” to them and were not self induced. The distinctions between “trance,” “dream” and “vision” are not always clear. See Ecstasy; Prophets.
