To be distracted or daydreaming.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Norwegians value 'friluftsliv' (outdoor life), and 'å gå i sin egen verden' is often used to describe the meditative state one reaches while hiking alone in the mountains. In Nordic offices, 'deep work' is respected. If someone says a colleague is 'i sin egen verden', it's often a signal not to disturb them. The phrase is a staple in 'nyrealisme' literature to describe the internal struggles of characters who feel disconnected from modern society. With the rise of smartphones, the phrase is increasingly used to describe 'mobil-zombier' (mobile zombies) who walk in the street without looking up.
Master the Reflexive
Always double-check your subject. If you say 'Han går i min egen verden', you are saying he is inside YOUR head!
Don't be afraid to use it
It's a very 'kind' way to say someone is distracted. It's much nicer than saying 'Du følger ikke med!' (You're not paying attention!).

Context Matters
In a job interview, don't say you 'go in your own world' unless you explain it as 'deep focus', otherwise they might think you are lazy.
