A minor seizure can be something as simple as a slight lapse in concentration by a person. They are sometimes called absence seizures or petit mals.

It could be a bit longer and the person might appear to be daydreaming or in a daze for a short period of time, and soon come back to normal. That is not to say that anyone who is daydreaming is having a seizure, so it should not be mistaken for that. If someone has a history of minor seizures, then it is likely to be what is happening.
