Not really-although some practitioners talk that way. The best way to think of it is to understand that meditation stills the mind. Usually, our minds are scattered, jumping all about like a troop of monkeys in the forest canopy. When you practice meditation well, your mind becomes unified, focused. Therefore, it could be claimed that it's a different state of consciousness, but that is really misleading. It's similar to the state when an athlete or a musician, for example, is "in the zone." There is no self-consciousness or awareness of the passing of time.
