Trance sleep long rest

[KyleG]

I'll make this as plain as I can.
What does trance mean?
Trance = sleep?
Trance = long rest (sleep +2hrs light activity)

the last communication I can find is the below but I would love the plain English version.

Does the Trance trait allow an elf to finish a long rest in 4 hours? If an elf meditates during a long rest (as described in the Trance trait), the elf finishes the rest after only 4 hours. A meditating elf otherwise follows all the rules for a long rest; only the duration is changed. [This answer has been altered as a result of a tweak to the rules for a long rest, which appears in newer printings of the Player’s Handbook.]4 hours of trance is a full long rest.

4 hours of trance is a full long rest.

Can you please give me the source?

I mean, it seems plain English enough to me.
