- lordnacho 3y agoYes, that is what felt so strange. It's like you're awake, you feel a bit of cold in your arm, then you're waking up. No in between, just snap fingers and you are elsewhere.
- TacticalCoder 3y agoI often remember my dreams. My wife is always amazed that I remember so many of them (she hardly remembers any). But I never ever remembered a single "dream" I made under anaesthesia. I wonder if people who remember many of their dreams have different experience? To me it's pretty much like GP: mid sentence and then boom, gone.
- 2-718-281-828 3y agothere is also retrograde amnesia. people live and feel. then suffer amnesia and can't remember having lived and felt. doesn't mean they didn't live and feel, though.
- Sanzig 3y agoI usually don't remember my dreams (and if I do, memories are usually very vague). However, I still have a sense of time passing when I sleep - ie: I wake up in the morning and I feel like some number of hours have passed since I went to sleep, even if I can't remember what happened during those hours. I've been under general anaesthesia once, and there was no sense of time passing. One instant I was in the OR, the next I was in the PACU. If you'd asked me, I'd have had no way of telling you if I'd been out for 20 minutes or 8 hours (I was out for about three).

- asylteltine 3y agoSleeping usually retains the feeling of time passing. Propofol is just a complete removal of consciousness in my opinion the same as just being dead
