Is that actually the same thing? I was under hypnosis once, and it wasn't that I wasn't thinking at all, just less. I would expect not conscious to mean I had no awareness of what is going on.

It depends on the depth of the trance. If you are in a light trance than you will still remember thinking a bit. When it comes to deep trance stages, it's possible to induce a trance in someone and do something for 10 minute and then wake the person up without the person having an awareness that ten minutes have passed.
