dazed
Feeling slightly dizzy, confused, or not fully conscious. This state often occurs as a result of a blow, an illness, tiredness, or shock.
Nach dem Aufstehen war sie noch ganz benommen und brauchte einen Moment, um klar zu werden.
After getting up, she was still completely dazed and needed a moment to clear her head.
'Benommen' (dazed) is the past participle of the outdated verb 'benehmen' in the sense of 'to take away someone's senses.' So it describes a state in which you feel as if your senses had been taken from you.
Nach dem langen Flug fühlte er sich müde und benommen.
After the long flight, he felt tired and dazed.
The adjective 'benommen' (dazed) is almost always used predicatively, that is, together with verbs like 'sein' (to be), 'sich fühlen' (to feel), or 'wirken' (to seem/appear).
Der Patient wirkte nach der Narkose noch sehr benommen.
The patient still seemed very dazed after the anesthesia.
To state the cause of the condition, you often use the preposition 'von' (from/by) followed by the dative.
Sie war ganz benommen von der Hitze und dem Lärm.
She was completely dazed from the heat and the noise.
clear
'klar' and 'benommen' describe a person's state here. 'klar' means that someone is fully conscious and can think rationally. 'benommen' is the opposite: the person feels dizzy, confused, or not fully awake. This can happen after a fall, during illness, or after a shock. If someone is 'klar', they can react well; if someone is 'benommen', they may need help or rest.
Nach dem Sturz blieb sie kurz benommen auf dem Boden sitzen.
After the fall, she sat on the ground dazed for a short while.
Nach ein paar Minuten war der Patient wieder klar und konnte antworten.
After a few minutes, the patient was clear-headed again and could answer.
