Examples of altered states of consciousness include meditation, hypnosis, drug-induced states, dreaming, and near-death experiences. These states involve changes in perception, awareness, and thoughts outside of the normal waking state.
Altered states of consciousness can occur from many different causes. What is commonly considered to be the cause is a chemical change in the body. This can be from ingesting, or otherwise introducing a known substance into the body that produces altered states of consciousness, or by altering the body's chemistry internally by fasting, sleep deprivation, pain, or meditation. Altered states of consciousness are very natural and occur to everyone, though most people do not recognize when it happens to them. And example would be if you were ever engrossed in some activity that you lost track of time, and then were surprised when you realized it. Some people do things like play games, knitting, working on car, reading, etc. and experience an altered state without realizing it. That is one reason why video games are so addicting.
Natural consciousness refers to the ordinary state of awareness and perception that humans experience without any altered states induced by drugs or other external influences. It involves being awake and aware of the physical world around us, our thoughts, emotions, and sensations.
Waxing level of consciousness refers to an increasing or improving state of awareness or alertness. Waning level of consciousness, on the other hand, describes a decreasing or deteriorating state of awareness or alertness. These terms are often used in medical contexts to assess a person's level of consciousness.
Being "stoned" generally refers to a state of altered consciousness or intoxication from consuming drugs or substances like marijuana or alcohol. It can result in feelings of euphoria, relaxation, impaired coordination, and cognitive function.
Sleeping does not directly cause mutations. Mutations are changes that occur in the DNA of cells, and they can happen due to various factors such as exposure to radiation, chemicals, or errors during cell division. While sleep is important for overall health and proper cell function, it does not trigger mutations in DNA.

I think you are asking, "what happens to one's state of consciousness during a meditation hypnotic trance?" The phrase "meditation hypnotic trance" needs exploring. Meditation is *not* the same thing as hypnosis, and it does not induce a trance state. Meditation is simply the process of watching your thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations.
