zone out
to be so interested in your own thoughts, your brain stops focusing on the
reception from your senses. You only
snap out of it when, 1) you realize you
zoned out and subsequently "come back into the real world", 2) something happens that catches your attention, like say a major movement in front of your face, or 3) someone says your name.

1. To be
day dreaming and unaware of the things around you. You usually appear to be staring at something, when in fact you are just looking in one place and you are deep in thought, or your mind is blank and you are trying to find yourself. Often people will wave their hand in front of your face and make a huge deal out of getting you to 'come back to earth'
2.A lot of times people that self-harm will "
zone out" before they do it. This simply means that they seem to block out everything around them and can no longer
reconize where they are, nor can they feel pain.
Example:
1.
Becca was so bored in
history class that she zoned out, so Tyler started to wave his hands in front of her to make her
snap out of it.
2.Emily zoned out before she slit her wrists.

Spaced out, stoned, unaware, oblivious, unconscious, drugged, narcotized.
Derived from the 70's phrase "lost in the
ozone", which led to the related terms "
ozoned", "
zoned", and "zoned out".
Example:
I got kinda zoned out listening to Green Day and forgot to finish my
term paper.
Dubya got zoned out at the
Cabinet meeting and decided to invade Iraq without a legitimate cause.

Similar to
daydreaming,
zoning out usually involves obscure subject matter such as how
toothpicks are made or what will happen when squirrels take over the world. Common among, but not imited to, those with ADD or ADHD.
Example:
Chester was so zoned out that he didn't even notice Jim
slapping him in the back of the head.
"
I'm sorry, what? I was zoned out.."
