translation of obmorok na nogakh?

[Oleg Pashuk]

Hi there,

I think "обморок на ногах" is the same as "подкосились ноги" which means 
"his/her legs gave way beneath him/her," or "his/her legs gave way under 
him/her."
(see http://www.multitran.ru/).
I hope it helps.

Cheers,
Oleg Pashuk

Hello Seelangers,

would anyone happen to know the English equivalent for the term "обморок на 
ногах" [obmorok na nogakh] ?  A woman in my P'etsukh work appears to have 
seen a ghost, and uses the term in an attempt to explain away the 
occurrence.  A friend suggested I use waking/walking faint, and I have 
looked into things like waking dreams, lucid dreams, just plain sleepwaking. 
It's such a simple term in Russian, I'm hoping not to have to resort to 
anything too technical in English.  Any suggestions would be great, on or 
off list.  I hope my Russian font came through this time. Thanks in advance,
Krystyna S.
