I 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.

there 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.

I 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).
