When you've transcended regular intoxication and entered a metaphysical realm where your consciousness has apparently filed for separation from your body. According to believers, this is when you're so wasted you're having out-of-body experiences complete with hallucinations. Essentially, it's being blackout drunk but with pretentious spiritual terminology.
