when i’ve been under through a gas mask it basically puts me into SP extremely rapidly, complete with visual hallucinations… i was real young both times but it was like thousands of white dots admist a blackness… real weird.
then nothingness, and immediately, wakefulness, with seemingly nothing in between…
what happens if a lucid dreamer, especially someone good at WILD, goes under similar circumstances? Will they actually enter REAL SP, and be conscious during the whole operation?
That would be horrible! and i’ve heard of things like that happening to people… what would you do, could you blink out SOS… would the doctors notice?
I don’t think they ahve EEGs on you to measure mental activity while undergoing surgery, but I definitely think they should…
it’s just, 90% of the population has probably never tried to go into mind asleep/body awake, for someone who is experienced with that, and they go into anesthesia… what do you think would happen?
Hopefully I’ll never have to know, unless I’m taking a recreational anesthetic.
I am not sure. I imagine it depends on the anesthetic but, for major operations (I believe) you are technically brain dead and kept alive via machines during the procedure. Perhaps you might experience a NDE or something.
I tried to WILD, etc… but… I was out even before I knew I was falling asleep! I don’t remember anything after that guy saying, “This will help you to relax…” cuz i was so nervous… and i looked at mom… bam! I woke up and immediately started to cry cuz I couldn’t remember ANYTHING and yes the surgery was done already! Yucky!
I just hope I dont hav eto have a surgery forever… I hated that experience… I’m still… scared from my wisdom teeth surgery experience.
I have had a major operation and I remember nothing during the time I was out. I did not see any HI or anything. One second I was awake and the next I was awaking up in the recovery room.
when i got my wisdom teeth out, the last thing I remeber was the surgeon asking me something about my guitar… and the next thing i know i am being wheeled out to the car in a wheel chair and i didn’t know if i had already had the surgeory yet or not… haha I didn’t know what was going on and i couldn’t feel my face. i couldnt even really lift any of my limbs and i felt really cool. I felt “comfortably numb” to quote Pink Floyd.
It was really pretty cool. i loved being put under anesthesia. i thought it was really cool how it just put me out so fast and how i didn’t remeber anything and the way i felt when i was coming to. It seemed like it lasted 5 seconds. No dreams or anything.
well i’ve heard experiences of people feeling the pain while paralysed, it would entirely depend upon what type of anesthetic and what its function is… as you know, it’s just chemical reactions, it isn’t necessarily the same as sleep.
when i woke up from mine i was in agonizing pain, that’s all i knew, pain, just bam i was awake screaming my ass off, like all the pain that was felt in the operation was there waiting for me as soon as i woke up.
or something, who knows maybe i bumped my arm on something coming too.
cuz I couldn’t remember ANYTHING and yes the surgery was done already! Yucky!
