Found some definitions from the web.
1. Not paying attention 2. Dissociate yourself from a situation

From TheFreeDictionary:
zone out to not notice or stop being interested in what is happening around you. When I'm dancing I zone out and feel like I'm the only one in the room. I just flew in from Europe this morning, so don't get upset if I just zone out in the middle of the meeting. http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/zone+out

some more info:
a) "zoned or zoned out" = intoxicated with narcotics; = high [adj. or adj. phrase in the 1960s, influenced by "spaced out"] b) "zone (something) out" = to omit from consciousness; = shut out of the mind (e.g.) I can just zone everything out and keep going. << New York Sunday Times >> [verb phrase by 1960s]
