Muga Muchū
The four-character idiom muga muchū (無我夢中) describes a situation where someone is so engrossed in something that they lose themselves.
Since mu (無) neas "none" or "losing," and ga (我) means "self," muga (無我) means "losing oneself."
In addition, mu (夢) means "dream," and chū (中) means "in," so muchū (夢中) means "to be engrossed in something as if in a dream."
Here, muga is used to enhance muchū.
In other words, this idiom indicates a state of being completely absorbed in something and forgetting oneself.

無我夢中
ひとつの物事に心を奪われ、我を忘れて熱中することを、「無我夢中」と言います。
「無」は "none/losing"、「我」は "self" を意味し、「無我」で "losing oneself" という意味になります。
また、「夢」は "dream"、「中」は "in" を意味し、「夢中」で "to be engrossed in something as if in a dream" という意味になります。
ここで「無我」は、「夢中」を強めるために使われています。
我を忘れるほど、何かに夢中になっているというわけです。
