An hypnotic trance is a "monoideistic" dissociated state of mind: attention is fixed on a single stimuli (eg a particular point - maybe a dot or spiral, or candle flame, or pendulum, or perhaps a sound or voice); there's usually bodily immobility/ relaxation, and general awareness is very reduced. Someone in an hypnotic trance remains aware, but awareness is extremely focused (usually on the hypnotist's voice), and it's not unusual for someone who has been hypnotized to have only vague recollections of the specific details of what happened when they were in trance. This, however, varies considerably, and many people remember every detail of their trance experiences.
This state may (and frequently does) occur spontaneously (eg when absorbed in reading a book or watching a movie, or performing a tedious and repetitive task, or when "daydreaming"), but in the generally understood sense comes about when one person deliberately induces it in another. It is perfectly "normal"; totally natural, and quite safe - although caution should be exercised in trying to hypnotize victims of severe trauma. Someone in hypnosis is not "under" another person's "control", and although hypnotized people are generally more responsive to suggestions, they can not be made to do/ say anything they don't want to.
No-one can become "stuck" in hypnosis (although some people with severe mental illnesses, certain personality disorders, and severe trauma victims, may enter long-term dissociative states bearing, to the uninformed, some similarities to hypnotic trances: such are signs/ symptoms of their severe psychological problems/ illnesses, not hypnotic trances!), and a hypnotized person left unattended will either emerge spontaneously from trance after a short time (usually 15 minutes at most), or simply fall into a natural sleep to awaken a few hours later. Similarly, a hypnotized person told to act in any way that is fundamentally offensive to him/ her will either remain unresponsive, or - more probably - exit the hypnotic state instantly, and probably react angrily.
There are numerous theories (some more credible than others!) about the precise nature of the hypnotic trance. Some assert that trance induction has the effect of switching the brain into a state where Right Hemisphere Functions (ie those to do with imagination, emotion, intuition) predominate over the more logical/ analytical Left Hemisphere Functions enabling people to respond less critically/ analytically and more imaginatively and spontaneously than would normally be the case. Another theory is that hypnotism is the deliberate activation of the REM State (when limb paralysis, dreaming, and information processing occur during sleep) in a conscious person enabling him/ her to enter a dream like state of intuitive playfulness. A third view is that the hypnotic trance is an elaborate form of role play largely brought about by the expectations and beliefs of the person being hypnotized. This is not to deny its reality - anything but... rather it's an assertion that someone in an hypnotic trance has become completely absorbed in his/ her own mind/ mental processes to the exclusion of all else.
Probably, in truth, it's a bit of a mixture of all of these. Certainly, deeply hypnotized people typically show signs of much outlined above - eg critical/ analytical faculties tend to be reduced considerably; willingness to engage in fantasy/ general suggestibility are amplified; Rapid Eye Movement (and eye inversion) are common, as is an unusual degree of physical immobility (and partial and total paralysis of limbs, eyelids etc are often readily induced), and there is a greater willingness than usual to consider/ engage with "imagined realities", play etc..
Some people enter hypnotic trances far more readily than others - most notably those who already have strong fantasizing tendencies (eg creative "artistic" types; those who had imaginary friends in childhood; those who read a lot of fantasy, Sci-Fi type books, and/ or who greatly enjoy film and drama; actors/ perfomance artists etc.), and those who are "natural dissociators" (eg regular "daydreamers"; victims of severe trauma etc) - but most normal people can be hypnotized to some degree if they are willing and cooperative.
Anyone willing and able to concentrate and follow instructions can be hypnotized if they want to be, but it helps considerably if they are also interested in the mind, and willing to "let go" and explore/ experiment - an open mind is a great asset here! Contrary to what many believe, the most responsive people tend to be psychologically stable, broad minded, extroverts of higher than average intelligence. Personally insecure, neurotic, highly controlling types do not generally find it easy to enter hypnotic trances.

How deep can one go in a hypnotic trance?
Highly hypnotizable people (about 8-10%) can readily enter a somnambulistic state: they will be able to open their eyes, stand, walk around, and generally behave as though not hypnotized even though they're in a deep trance. They'll be able to experience the full range of hypnotic phenomena (eg total bodily catalepsy, positive and negative hallucinations, recall of long past life events, and even anesthesia...), and there is a good chance that when brought out of hypnosis they'll have limited or no recollection of what happened during trance. The majority of people, although hypnotizable, will not experience such profound hypnosis, and generally will recall everything that occurred during their trances. For most, hypnosis is simply a highly relaxing experience during which they may feel very detached or "dreamy" whilst being very focused on what is suggested to them. I have experienced both partial and total amnesia of hypnotic trances, depending on the exact context in which hypnosis occurred. When participating in a scientific study of hypnosis I was somnambulistic, spending two hours in trance and performing complex sequencing tasks, but had little recollection of the specifics, remembering only the instructions given. The two hours seemed like only minutes to me, and despite walking around with eyes open, talking etc, can only remember "seeing" the revolving spiral used for trance induction! When hypnotized "for fun" by the same person, I recalled everything (because instructed to), and remember dancing with imaginary people, hallucinating many things, and even having a needle pushed through the skin on the back of my hand, and feeling nothing. Obviously, I was deeply hypnotized, but remembered the experience because that was the whole purpose of the activity. Most recently, I've been hypnotized by a psychotherapist. I was asked to "view" myself sitting in a chair across the room, and describe what I saw. The therapist then repeated my own descriptions back to me... slowly and deliberately, and after a few minutes everything "went blank", and I recall nothing of the rest of the session, until she brought me out of trance by gently calling my name. I am naturally good at hypnosis, having high powers of concentration, strong imaginative tendencies, and an interest in the mind and its potential to create its own "realities". I am only able, however, to enter deep trance because I will it: my interests, inclinations, and intellectual capabilities lead me in this direction, but hypnosis only occurs because I'm interested in experiencing it and, therefore, ready to "go with it". I could not be hypnotized if I did not want to be - for example, I dislike "stage hypnosis", and have sat through a number of such shows observing them, but declining to participate... and nothing on this good earth would ever induce me to take part in such shenanigans. Most people can be hypnotized if willing, but how "deep" one goes does to some extent depend upon natural capabilities, although repeated hypnotic inductions do tend to increase trance depth. Ultimately, however, if someone isn't comfortable with the situation/ does not trust the hypnotist then it is unlikely that any hypnosis will occur. Generally, only a minority have the ability readily to enter the deepest hypnotic states.

Can it be experimentally demonstrated that man can think even if the brain be functionally inactive?
Yes. Let a man be put into hypnotic trance. In this condition, as can be experimentally demonstrated, cerebration, or brain activity, is at its lowest ebb. No blood, or very little blood, flows through the brain cells. The brain is totally refractory to excitation. In other words, the brain is totally inactive. It is stopped. No cerebration occurs. It enters into a state of coma. However, a man under hypnotic trance, the process of thinking does not disappear. On the contrary, it becomes intensified; it becomes hyperactive. (Dr. Rhine)
