Yes, it also sounds as if you are trancing to me. The first sensation of trance is a willingness to follow suggestions. When the hypnotist (or voice) tells you that your arms are feeling heavy, your legs are feeling heavy and so on, you follow these suggestions by complying. In a light trance this is an unwillingness to test the suggestion, actually. You feel split between actually testing and not giving a toss. If you decide test it and to say to yourself that it isn't true, you can break it at this point, and you will not go any deeper, but if you decide that your arms are really way too heavy to lift, and you can't really be bothered to test it, then this will deepen your trance.
