There is a ritual I am trying to do but you have to be in a trance for the ritual to be successful. I have been trying to practice and enter a trance for a couple weeks but I am confused.

Does it feel normal? I've heard some trances you don't even have to have your eyes closed. You can read and write and live your normal day while being in a trance. If I can have my eyes open and do normal things and remember it, how do I know whether I'm actually in a trance or not?

I need to enter the "Gray zone" which is the halfway zone between our world and the spiritual world. But I need to do it while being able to write a letter during the ritual. I don't understand how I am supposed to balance all of these things. If anyone has any help or experince doing trance work, please let me know!

This morning, I woke up with 6 scratch marks covering my chest and boob on my left side. I know for a fact I didn't do it to myself. The only thing that's confusing is they don't hurt or anything. If a demon or entitiy did this to try and cause pain, it didn't really work. I also did not have any crazy dreams last night that I remember. Maybe this isn't the right place to post about this but I own no animals that could've scratched me last night or even yesterday. I'II post a picture of the scratches. They don't seem very parallel or anything.

I have been doing research on summoning an incubus/ succubus the past week. But they don't usually leave marks. I haven't tried any rituals yet or anything so I'm not sure how I could have attracted an entity/demon. If anyone has any advice or knows what's going on, l'd appreciate it!

What is trance work like?
