Wow, thanks for that link about anesthesia!  I never thought to look into anesthesia being the culprit of what I&#x27;m about to relate..<p>5 years ago I underwent major surgery after an incident.  I remember one day being fine and normal and then my next memories are of me slowly becoming self-aware, conscious &amp; lucid again in a hospital bed over the course of somewhere between 15-30 days (I&#x27;m not sure I can pin-point a specific time I became fully aware of where I was and what had happened).<p>The period of time in between my surgery and when I was fully awake was without a doubt the most terrifying experience of my life.  Mentally, I was in a nightmare state for what felt like a large extent of the time that I was &#x27;out of it.&#x27;  I still have memories and images in my mind today of the dreams I experienced falling in and out of consciousness while slowly &#x27;waking&#x27; up over a month.
