"non-consensual nap time" is also a great name for a grunge band that utilizes lullabies in all their productions.

I met a guy who woke up from a coma screaming "Mom I want a hamburger." Aparentlty the feeding tube was no match for a young man's metabolism. His family did not know if he wouldn't ever wake up after a head injury until they heard this in the middle of the night. Some permanant effects but he was able to hold down a job and seemed to have a positive outlook.

3:42 The irony of having driving footage for some game while talking about this topic is both hilarious and saddening

Doctor here. People absolutely do develop PTSD from their ICU experiences. The data actually show that folks do better if they're minimally sedated and remember what happens to them in the ICU. As a result, we titrate the anesthesia so that patients remain calm, are not fully alert, but able to open their eyes when you talk to them.

When I was 16 I was a motocross fan, and very much trying to be a motocross athelete. In my 16 year old head, I thought I could do a backflip. Nope. The only saving grace I had that day, was that I was wearing a helmet, and crash chest armour. I broke everything else because my very heavy bike landed on me when I failed to flip. I'm grateful that my dad forced me to wear it, because my doctor said if I didn't, there was a good chance my ribs would have punctured my lungs. Everything below my waist was broken, and because we were on a track, I had to be life flighted - no ambulance could reach us. I only remember laying on the ground, seeing a helicopter and paramedics handing me a stick to suck on. Then it was 3 weeks later, and I could no longer walk, and I had extensive nerve damage in my legs and my abdomen from the burns on my stomach from the incredibly hot engine. All I remember being under was music, and thinking "this is really weird..." as it was discordant and didn't make sense. My siblings had burned a cd of all our favorite songs, and even some of the songs we made ourselves as a family band. That's all I remember of it, cuz I was so doped up before I even got on to the helicopter.

That last story... I was never in a coma, but I've had dreams like that. It's... There are no words in any human language to convey the primal fear these kinds of dreams can evoke. If i remembered them more clearly i think I'd have yet another source for my PTSD...

My great-great uncle wrote an email to my grandmother about what it was like in a coma. Can’t find the email yet but he said he felt an indescribable feeling of peace and calm and that he vividly recalls seeing endless flowers & fields. There was much more to the original email, trust

As a coma survivor, who was put in a medically induced coma for 3 days after almost dying during neck surgery, I was given heavy medication and have zero memories of it or a week after, I was very interested in this topic, I was 12 when I was in the coma, I’m now 26. My mother was by my side the whole time and claimed that I asked to watch the movie walk the line 7 times in the three days, when we came home I was sitting in a hospital bed in my living room when I happened on Walk the Line playing on some channel. I said out loud “Oh Walk the Line! I haven’t watched that movie in forever” my mother yelled from the kitchen “Don’t play that movie!! I’ve had enough” I had no idea why, and I haven’t watched it since

It's so weird that this video came up on my recommended. In July 2005 I contracted viral pneumonia during which my lungs collapsed. I was put into a medically induced coma and was in it for around 2 weeks. I had what I call vivid and very weird dreams. To me obviously they were very real. I was a single parent to a 4 year old girl as context. I dreamt that after the initial visit to A&E that I had actually come home (I didn't) and that while I was home a friend told me a tale of another friend's reaction to me being at the hospital (they actually told me while I was in the coma) after that I dreamt that they hospital kidnapped me and were holding me 'hostage' because I owed them money. (I am in the UK we have the NHS which is free). I remember kicking and screaming and fighting off the nurse as they tried to put tubes in me (this was actually true). I thought that my 4 yr old was at home alone while I was being held hostage (she obviously was not). That was gist of it but obviously it was a bit more detailed than that. When I eventually woke up I thought I told the nurse what was happening and asked that she helped me but I couldn't have done as I had had a tracheotomy at some point so couldn't talk. I still at this point believed I was being held hostage and when they got some device to allow me to talk with the tracheotomy begged them to send help to my child. They reassured me she was fine but I didn't believe them. I kept pulling out other tubes to try and escape to her up until 2 days later when a friend came to visit. It was only when I saw her I finally believed what the nurses had been telling me. I had terrible dreams for months afterwards and a few in hospital when I was finally able to sleep (that took numerous drugs over a week to achieve). I couldn't do anything for myself because of muscle atrophy for a couple of days immediately and slowly over the first week at least got use of my hands (albeit badly) back. I was told that at one point during it all my family were told I was not going to make it. I guess nobody counted on how stubborn a mum can be 😂 After the first week I was told I would be in hospital for months while I regained use of my muscles and learned to walk etc again. I just looked at them (forgot to say by this point the tracheotomy had been removed) and said "hell no I will be out of here within two weeks bring me whatever I need to help and I will do whatever it takes because I am going home to my daughter. I did exactly that and ten days later I went home I wasn't in the greatest shape admittedly but I could walk. I still have nightmares to this day on occasions and I still can only eat very small amounts at a time. My memory is very hazy from just before the lung collapse. I thought my last memory was on the day of it but turns out it was the day before. My last memory was of the 7/7 bombings in London and of the bus and its roof ripped off maybe that influenced my coma dreams a bit not sure.

Darkness... like a quick nap. Was only 5 days for me though. I remember being put under for my surgery, and then i remember discomfort in my arms. It was my toddler child, scrambling up her mothers body, to say good bye... because mom had a DNR and a certain thing that said to take me off ventilation after no signs of recovery after 7 days. My child saved my life. But there was literally nothing in between for me. Lond od makes the whole "my child is my whole world" a lot more literal... the reason for the come was i am a ginger and tend to not respond to pain killers and wake up randomly during anesthesia... its happened alot. They gave me a wee bit more knock out juice than they should have... but again... there just wasnt anything, or time, in between

I had a friend in highschool who experienced amnesia after going unconscious for either several hours or a day, I forget. Idk if it was just a brief vegetative state or an actual coma (which can indeed be as short as a few minutes) but it took him a good couple of weeks to get all his memories back. He called me a few days after the incident (which I still don't know what triggered it) because he didn't remember me and wanted me to fill in the blanks about our friendship. It was kinda scary having your friend suddenly have no memories about you, but it was only temporary. Later on, we joked about how it's a good thing it wasn't his older brother, whom we both couldn't stand, who lost his memory cuz we would've just fed him bullshit and hoped it'd make him less of a shitty person.

DH was in a coma for 7 weeks. Yes, 7 WEEKS. He had a severe brain injury from an auto accident. He awoke with a somewhat different personality, had to learn to walk again, doesn't remember anything happening during the coma, and has lost the vast majority of his childhood memories. He doesn't remember his accident. His memory was so bad that he couldn't watch a tv show; he had already forgotten the beginning of the show by the show's end. It took quite a while to be able to watch tv again, but he can now. He has almost no balancing ability, has little glitches and hitches, and sometimes, a stutter. Recovery took years. But still, no memory of the coma itself; it was just a dreamless nap. He would sometimes speak during the coma, but remembers none of it.

One of my best friends went into a coma for about 3 weeks (went into toxic shock after surgery). When she woke up, she was screaming and yelling for her children....we were 17 and obviously, we didn't have kids. That was about fifteen years ago now and she's never really been the same.

I was put into an induced coma a week before thanksgiving for about two weeks. As I started waking up, my dreams started feeling really warped and somewhat related to what I was hearing on the outside. Growing up I would always love to lay in my sisters bed since she always had a comfortable one, in my dream I was just laying in a pile of trash, feeling like crap and kept trying to get upstairs to sleep in her bed where it was comfortable. On the real side, I would physically get up and start saying “I need to get upstairs”. Followed by my dad trying to keep me down in bed from falling out and saying something I don’t remember to me. In my dream I saw a warped, creepy version of him just pushing me back down over and over again and I had to keep fighting through all the pain, fear and discomfort. Thinking about it now, I always wondered if I made it to that bad would mean I would give up any will to live and just rest till I pass away as opposed to constantly fighting it. Being sick in the hospital wasn’t exactly new to me but my parents knew it was serious this time when the doctors looked worried and weren’t sure if I’d even make it. For weeks after I woke up, every time I tried to tell people of my dream, I’d start to tear up uncontrollably despite telling myself that it’s ok. I just know when I finally felt conscious of what had happened, I broke down in tears knowing something bad had happened.

I have an autoimmune seizure disorder and have been in an induced coma 7 times now. 6 out of 7 of them weren't too bad, but my last one which was thankfully over a year ago, I was in a coma for 4 and a half days, it was my worst seizure yet, and it caused me severe memory loss and really bad short term memory loss. I had to do 3 different kinds of therapy after that. It's called autoimmune Encephalitis which is inflammation of the brain, so it can effect people very differently based on what area of your brain is inflamed. In my experience, I just go down from a seizure, and wake up in the hospital. Since it's happened so many times I know what happened now when I wake up in the hospital like that.

Story 8: I once came so close to ODing on oxy that i slept for 2 days. During those 2 days, i dreamed of an entire life with a girl i loved at the time. In real life it didnt work out. In my dream, we had everything. Marraige, house in the woods, children.. i mourne the loss of that dream life more than i do the real girl. And to this day it hurts as bad as it did after i woke up. I have never told anyone that knows me about this. And yes, i know the half life of oxy is only a few hours. I had also been on a days long amphetamine bender before i took it. I would sleep for at least a day after those usually. Also, dont become an addict. It permanently changes you in the worst ways. Im clean now, but i miss it every day all day because i rarely feel pleasure. The closest i can get is.. somewhat content. Most of the time i feel like garbage. Like a piece of me is missing or atrophied. Im not suicidal, but sometimes i cant wait for the end. Just maybe this hunger and sense of.. loss will go away.

I wasn't in a coma but I was in the hospital recovering from surgery and had a very vivid dream that my mom.. she's been on the other side for almost 3 years now.. was there, patting my leg and telling me I didn't need to worry for my friends baby who had just been born and needed open heart surgery.. that she knew I would fuss but to not worry, she'd look after the little one. and i fully believe that's what my mother would have done she was the great granny, the little old lady that could get any child to sleep in 5 minutes.. That baby has the best guardian angel, couldn't wish anyone better for any kid. and in taking that worry from me she wanted me to focus on me and recover, accepting that while I'm her little girl I'm an adult and can look after myself.. it was very... cathartic cause I wanted nothing more than my mom while I was in the hospital, in some way knowing she knew I'd be ok without her helped

"A resounding 'maybe' " really got me 😭

I was placed in a medically-induced coma for three weeks thanks to covid. I only remember a few dreams but as far as I knew, one day it was December 2nd, and the next it was December 24th. I had no recollection of the actual time that had passed. The muscle atrophy was so severe that I couldn't even lift my hands off the bed. About two weeks later I was well enough to be discharged from the hospital but still didn't have the strength to sit up or roll on my own. I went into in-patient rehab where I did physical, occupational and speech therapy for another three weeks. I got to go home but still had to use a walker for a while and did out-patient physical. I'm pretty much back to normal now. Like other have said it, I owe my life to the doctors and nurses in ICU.

I was in a 2 day coma due to sepsis. My kidneys had shut down and they did surgery to place stents to try to get the kidneys working again.they did this without anesthesia. I didn't respond to any stimuli so didn't geel the pain. I only vaguely remember being pulled out of an MRI machine, and a really hazy memory of the pastor from my church and his wife putting a red prayer shawl on me. Otherwise, no dreams or anything. Ended up being in the hospital for 5 weeks after waking up from the coma.

Two days for me. One of the vivid things I remember is this hallucination of staring into a white light through a fog and the silhouettes of five people looming over me. The people were just black shadows in the fog. Maybe nurses or family around the bed? Also had many weird "lucid" dreams. I saw my town, it was my town but at the same time it was not. The houses around mine replaced by 8 or 9 story buildings that looked high tech and medieval at the same time. The highway was in the same spot of real life, just behind my house but you had to walk through woods to reach it (when its actually just a park with basketball couts and soccer fields). There was an overpass where a small bridge actually is and in the woods a giant crow lived. Like it was the size of a minivan. Weird stuff man, the saddest thing is that sometimes i miss that town and the people in it. I wonder if the brain, in the healing process sometimes makes things up based on what you like or fear, like a dream, so you can live in it and it won't break?

the story about the person who was in the diabetic coma, and they felt like they already knew they were diabetic before the diagnosis, that happened to me too. i got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2022, and for the entire year before that, i had this sinking feeling that i had diabetes. i remember filling out a form to get a nose piercing and one of the questions is if youre diabetic, and i was stuck on that question for a minute. i didn't really have a concrete reason at that time to think that i was, but its just so wild to me that my subconscious already knew before i really knew it.

I was in a coma for weeks. I don't remember much, apart from realising that I was pretty much in a big city running or our lives. I say "our" because it wasn't just me. I asked myself or a moment if this was the afterlife, and if this would continue forever, and at the time it felt like it did. I decided I didn't care, and running forever seemed like a better alternative than the physical pain I am in daily. I don't remember much rom when I actually woke, but it took months to walk again. In just 2 weeks, my calves had vanished to just skin and bone it looked like. My husband couldn't handle taking photos, but I had a machine breathing for me, was n dialysis, and a bunch of other stuff. They didn't expect me to live and I have side effects that make my life worse. I would not recommend.

I caught something caused HPMV, think the worst cold/flu of your life. Started coughing up blood. Rolled myself into a Uber and had myself delivered to the Emergency Room. Woke up a month later and was told if i'd waited two hours later i'd have died. Also, one note for this video, its THREE days of inactivity before you have to relearn how to walk again.

SUVs are death traps on wheels. Talk about false advertising, but because they are "light trucks" the manufacturers are allowed to cut SO MANY corners. The rise in deaths and near-fatal injuries in traffic are mostly linked to the trend to SUVs and nobody being held accountable for false advertising. One of the friends that I made while I was in the military was in a coma for three days after a motorcycle accident where he broke both hands and arms but the protective gear saved him from any permanent injuries to his back and head, but he still had a major concussion. He said afterwards that he remembers the accident and passing out and that he had just that ONE dream that went on forever. An endless house that had stairs and countless empty rooms. He walked those hallways searching for something that he didn't remember, even in the dream. But he didn't feel panic or anything like that, just some endless calm and peace, and that everything would be fine once he found what he was looking for. And after five days he woke up. He still doesn't know what he was searching for. Oh, and they kept the helmet for him. These things DO save lives. The helmet was scraped down exactly so far, the inner cloth lining was exposed but whole. Just one more millimeter and there would have been at least a red streak on the road.

Car wrecks really are crazy. Sometimes minor-looking wrecks leave people dead and sometimes you'll see a mangled car with a perfectly-fine driver. About a year or so before we met, my husband was in a terrible wreck. He fell asleep at the weel and hit the median. He flipped a bunch (can't remember the exact number) and the car was destroyed. My husband? Barely a scratch. He was the only car involved, thankfully and it's scary knowing how close he came to death and how close I came to nevee getting to meet the love of my life.

Coma following emergency surgiery. Remember killng thirst. Then were the same horrible nightmares over and over. I couldn't find/hear my mom. Was supposed to die. Woke up and was told my Brain was injured and I'd need homecare forever. Nope, nope, nope. I worked hard in rehab; fine in 2 weeks. Doc remembered me years later. Had PTSD for over 5 yrs. Another Doc told me PTSD was impossible. Dumped that guy. I'm fine now.

Hey there! Last time I stopped by you were at 40k 😅 it's been great to be here since the first hundred subs and see how much attention you guys are getting! Y'all totally deserve it

When I was 20 I was in a diabetic coma for 3 weeks. It was just…nothingness. I didn’t hear anyone talking to me or anything. Just nothing. They told me it was considered a “very deep coma” because I was totally unresponsive to anything. They told my mom that I would be in a vegetative state for the rest of my life if I did eventually come out of the coma. So doctors don’t know everything, lol. As I was coming out of the coma I had a hallucination but that was about it. They had me strapped to the table because I had several grand mal seizures while I was still in a coma. I woke up for seconds at a time then out for another day. When I finally stayed awake I remember feeling so thirsty but they wouldn’t give me water except through an iv. I could barely move because my muscles were so atrophied. It took months before I had my muscle tone back. It was a loooong road.

I was out for about 2 weeks after having brain surgery to remove a tumor that ended up being cancer, the only thing I remember from while I was out was seeing my biological mother that had passed 5 months earlier. I had only met her a few times in my life since I was raised by my father and step mother and was never told about her until after she passed

Was in for 7 days, remember hearing this constantly from someone(later turns out to be my mum and doctors) where are, who are you, come back, I was in this centre of a multiple hallways with no end in sight with either one, the really weird dreams and hallucinations were so real and remembering now I know what were and are now my priorities once out of it, had to cut out some people from my life which was making my life a living hell and kept those which helped me closer

I was in a coma for 2 days after open heart surgery. The coma itself it was just a deep sleep but not feeling restful after awakening. The bad part was trying to come out of it. It was difficult. Kept going back down. Rough 24 hrs of trying to wake up, now there it felt like 3D motions and thousands and thousands of spiders...OMG horrible. All sizes. Couldn't move couldn't scream. I just kept putting myself back down it felt to escape. I do remember that feeling several times with different things happening but don't remember what. That was the most crazy one. Definitely 0 out of 10. Never really thought of it till this video. Hearts racing just thinking of it. Plz be careful all. We think we are invincible at times. Now I've had 2 open heart surgeries, and still think I'm invincible. I'm not!

When I was 17 I was out with friends and was in the back seat. I was sitting in the middle and had removed the lapbelt to make taking off my coat easier. We were on a dirt road and the driver thought it was a good idea to show off, and slid off road into a tree. Everyone else had only minor injuries and were able to walk away, but since i had my belt off I flew out the windshield and slammed into a tree losing consciousness somewhere in the process. I was only out for a few days, and woke to a bright light. It felt like i was staring into the sun. Then what sounded to me like an alien language before fading back out. The next time i wake im in a room by myself, in a hospital bed, tube in my throat, my every muscle feeling like its burning from the inside out as i try to breathe and cant. I remember hitting the emergency button, and seeming to take forever for a nurse to come in, and soon after shout for backup. I don't remember anything else from the real world from that point until the final time they woke me. The dream world tho, I remember flying with birds taking formation around me. Going over open pastures and fields until rising up and over the clouds before the dread of "what about the landing?" Set in along with feeling perpetual freefall.

Ah these stories bring back so many not having any memories 😌

Glad everyone who went through this is doing better.

I went into a diabetic coma when i was 11. I remember ambulance lights then nothing until i woke up and tried to rip out my ivs. I was diagnosed as hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) they had to sedate the first time i came to due to me freaking out. Next time i woke up my mom was there and grabbed me before i could start ripping things out again. Besides that i remember nothing

Ah my uncle was an air traffic controller. He's always been someone who enjoyed long walks and I believe he was walking down to us the morning someone ran off the road and hit him. He was in a medically induced coma for a while. He recovered but he doesn't remember the accident but he wasn't able to go back out to work and has been deemed medically unfit for work since then.

I fell from a balcony when I was 17 I was in a coma for a week I remember segmented memories of people talking around me or the sensation of being touched on the arm . When I woke up It was night and I was in a completely black room I screamed and a nurse came in I tried to say help me but it came out as gibberish . It took me a year to talk properly.

I was never in a coma but about 20 years ago I had a grand mal seizure. I was having a blood glucose test done to see if I was diabetic or hypoglycemic. You fast for 12 hours then drink pure glucose and have your blood drawn several times over the course of a couple hours. After the third draw I started to feel a bit dizzy so I asked if I could sit there for a minute, then next thing I know I'm having a very vivid dream. It felt like a full night's sleep but it turned out to only be 10 seconds. I woke up to me slumped in the chair and the nurse holding the back of my head with alarms ringing. Yeah turns out definitely hypoglycemic. I remember brief flashes of the dream I had but not coherent enough to describe. It's just weird that my brain made it feel like such a long time.

I was in a coma for 2 weeks after having over 5 seizures in a row (status epilecticus). It was rough. I remember I pulled out some tubes (my feeding tube 3 times) and they stopped me before I could rip my tracheostomy out. So I was restrained, and I thought I had been abducted, so I fought harder. I couldn't speak, I couldn't move, I had a central line on my neck and a tube on my throat so my neck was immobilised, it was incredibly scary. It took me over a month to understand fully what had been real and what had been a "dream". I still remember I thought I had been a hostage for months, and in that time my brother had a daughter. I can still remember him showing me the baby. The brain is crazy.

The last one's dream makes sense. The sense of falling and impending doom is a symptom of coding, and can be a medication side effect. There would've been lots of hands and things put in their mouth to maintain their airway. The people looking down at them could be from a hazy visual memory of the staff standing over them while they were being stabilised. Depending on where they were at various points (remember dream time is weird. Think about the times outside noises have been incorporated into your dreams), they legitimately could've smelled decay if someone had an ulcer or skin infection, or came in in a bad state, and that one smell in passing could've been amplified in their dream. It's interesting how parts of their nightmare seems to be their brain processing sensory input it can't make sense of. A whiff of someone's infected ulcers briefly, combined with being touched all over, and the brain went "I know this from TV! It's zombies!"

not a coma victom myself... but a friend from school was. he went to a bridge to swim with the school we went to for an outting. he jumpped off the bridge. normaly the water was deeper, but it was a bit low that day. he hit his head in the water.... broke his neck in 3 places. he was comatose for a month. when he woke back up, it took anouther month to be able to go back to school. he remembered everything still, but would have blackouts fairly regularly. lost contact with him 2 years later when we graduated.

Happy Easter! Thanks for posting!

The OP who saw the grandparents had a Black Panther type of experience for real

I was in a coma for two weeks or so from my car accident I just stopped existing and then I started existing later.

Not sure if this counts as a coma, but my mom had to be put on a ventilator due to catching covid (she's immuno compromised so it hit her HARD) and was unconscious for several weeks. She lost 20 pounds of muscle and had to go to rehab for over a month before her doctors deemed her well enough to come home. It took about a year before she fully recovered her strength. That was almost 3 years ago and she's still experiencing side effects of covid. She also had a 30% chance of survival, so she really beat the odds.

I won't lie, I still sometimes wonder if I actually got up from my bike accident or if I ever actually came to after messing with hallucinogens I couldn't handle. If it turns out that I didn't (for either one), then I just wanted to say that yall are some cool entities my mind has come up with.

One of those stories reminds me of another story I'd heard. A guy went into a coma and dreamt a whole new life; met woman, got married, had kids. Then eventually woke up and realized it wasn't real. Went into deep depression after that and dunno what happened after. Edit: autocorrect

I was in a medically induced coma for 23 days after resuscitation. My non-consentual nap time was very similar but oddly different. I remember when my heart stopped and I was being resuscitated. I had an out of body experience. I got off the operating table and looked back and saw myself. I knew what music they were listening to, and specific things that I shouldn't remember having been dead for almost 5 minutes. I remember leaving the operating room and seeing a single woman that asked where I was going. I told her I was going to see my family in my hospital room. She walked with me and when I got to my room nobody was there. Nobody was in the entire hospital except for the two of us. She said that I could wait for my family or I could go with her. I said I would wait and she left. And I was alone. I watched days and nights and just two crows that lived in a tree outside for what seemed like several lifetimes occasionally hearing my family and doctors but unable to see them. At some point I decided I had enough waiting and went to find that lady. As soon as I stood up, I woke up against the drugs they had me on.

what it was like: one second you are screaming your lungs out in pain (way before the come) and the next moment you dont even know who, what, where or WHEN you are. coma was just like resting.

Actually, death by car accident is something which is pretty common, with a chance of it happening to a person being somewhere around 1 in 90 to 1 in 150.

not necessarily a coma but in year 2 or 3 (I was between 6-8 years old), I was in sports at school and I just sorta fainted, but my eyes were open and I wasn't responsive. I don't remember anything. I was told by my mum the school called her, I was taken to hospital and i had wet myself. I woke up 7 hours later (about 5pm) in a hospital bed, I saw my mum on the other side of the room and asked where I was. 9-10 years later, the doctors still cant work out what it was. all they know is i had a brain bleed, and they still stuck between if it was a stroke or seizer

I have no idea why I love these like the story's are sad and all but I like listening

I had a pulmonary embolism 3 years ago. I passed out as they were loading me into the ambulance and I woke up 6 days later. I wasn't confused as to why I was in hospital because I remembered everything, but I thought I had only been out for a few hours, not a week. Much like everyone else, I also had very strange dreams. I was aware that I as sleeping longer than I should be, and I kept waiting for my alarm to go off so I could go to work, but of course, it never did. I dreamed that I was in a hospital episode of Sponge Bob. (Strange because I've never watched Sponge Bob.) Sometimes I would hear the nurses say things that I repeated to them after I woke up. I had had 4 vascular surgeries while I was asleep to clear my legs and lungs of blood clots. For an entire day after I woke up, I could see colourful auras around people. (One nurse was sunflower yellow. Another was green.) I had compressors on my claves to keep the blood flowing and they felt like I had jetpacks on my legs. I kept expecting my hospital bed, which was on wheels of course, to take off backwards. I also had what I like to describe as a "Spooky Mormon Hell Dream" of fire climbing up the walls and ceiling. I understand now why people who have been through similar have religious experiences.

One of my friends was in an accidant in spain. They put her in a coma for some days and gave her strong painmedication afterwards. All she can recall from that time was rainbows and colours. Her description basically sounds like the descriptions of an LSD trip. When the brought her back to Germany where we live, they had to slowly reduce the painmedication as it was adictive and couldn't be removed immediatly. The only other thing she told me she had recalled was that exactly on the day when they finally took her off that medication she looked out of the window and saw a swarm of colourfull birds pass by. She asked the pther patient in the room whether she also saw it and that lady replied with "yes, but maybe we shouldn't tell anybody or else they might think we're going insane". Then a nurse must have went in and asked them if they saw the swarm of parrots that was just passing by and explained to them that this swarm had randomly formed from all the parrots who fled their homes or who were abandoned by their owners in the area and they would pass by the hospital at times. She keeps on telling this as a joke, but I would imagine it to be a horrible experience seeing stuff similar to your coma dream and thinking you're maybe going insane due to that.

My niece flipped her vehicle after swerving trying to miss a deer. Rolled her vehicle 3 times. At least one of her kids were in the vehicle with her.

5:15 I had a dream like that once. Waking up from that dream (that lasted years in the "dream", and I remembered that life in excruciating detail) messed my up so bad… for more than a year.

This was a friend of mine in school and it was really sad So my dear friend who we will call R had a rare disease mutation in him which requires him to have his primary organs replaced once every 10 years of his life, which means his organs would not grow with him. It was mutation error in his body. So one year during his annual tune-up that's what we call it in our school. He had to get his kidneys replaced which at the time wasn't a bad procedure. Get at the time. He was 16 going on the 17 and we all plan to congratulate him on his tune up ( It was my idea) So he was supposed to be back at school. Maybe a week after is visit to the hospital to have the parts replace he didn't come back to school on the day we were told he be back . Later that day we found out the doctor accidentally screwed up on the surgery and accidentally put our friend into a medically induced coma thank goodness though he was able to recover and come back to school 2 weeks later . Just say we did have that party for him just he was a little bit out of it for a while. I ask him how it felt when he was in the coma just say he gone into details and man it some crazy stuff. So to my dear friend, I hope you're doing better nowadays and keeping up on your tune-ups and not going into coma's

I guess a lot of the 'out of body' experiences and other hallucinating is caused by the drugs used in sedation and anesthesia. The stuff used for that is some serious shit and there is a reason why certain narcotics and other strong medications are that controlled and locked away. Even stuff used for short sedation for quick procedures are definitely serious stuff and anaesthesiologists do some impressive work dosing it just right. It's odd to see someone just go to sleep in the blink of an eye from just a subtle push of propofol. Modern medicine, especially surgery, anesthesia and coma are fascinating. It oft involves basically shutting down the body or putting it in what could be described as 'stand by mode'. Also, amnesia is a common sideffect of most anesthesia. Not remembering the very first waking up and the falling asleep is part of it and often it's a welcome side effect as uncomfortable feelings and 'being handled' is also forgotten. Unfortunately some drugs used in anesthesia do induce sexual hallucinations. That's one reason why there are so many stories about elderly ladies or young people being extremely flirty when going under.

I write my dream and nightmares down immediately when I wake up, so I can remember them forever, they are amazing and maje for great stories, my children love when I read them

10:38 had a teacher experience something very similar to this when she got sick and maintained an extremely high fever.

7:56 I love music if I just didn’t like it anymore all of a sudden I don’t even know honestly but I wuoldnt be happy Hmm this’ll be interesting 0:29 never thought I’d hear him say that also 3:41 yeah it’s like how ppl are scared of going on rollercoasters yes it’s vary unlikely for you to get hurt or die but ppl are still scared of it

Was in a coma 6 days when I was 6-7 (slept through bday), don't remember anything but when I started to come to supposedly I was pulling out my cords and they brought my teddy in and supposedly that stopped it and I just snuggled it. I do know when I woke up I was ready for my bday party only for that to get postponed a few months.

just reminded me of my friend with his dad in coma

Like a crazy dance party where the people were talking like they were at work.😂

i luckylie never was in a coma but did fall unconscious a couple times, i remember nothing but there is a very short period before i became conscious again where i had toughts again but not any sense or feeling, cant see, cant feel (in terms of pain) anything, only toughts and emotions and i can relate to 13:00 would descibe as internal panic / fight to wake up

I've never been in a coma but I have experienced the hellish things described here when I was given morphine. Morphine and related drugs give me horrible hallucinations. I wonder if the drugs were affecting the experiences of people after an accident or surgery when they were likely given morphine. It doesn't affect everyone that way, but it's not uncommon.

I was kept in a drug-induced coma for roughly a week or two; when I think about it, I have vivid memories of my nurse spooning ice chips into my mouth. After they weaned me off the drugs, it took a long time to regain my fine motor skills and my eyes refused to focus for a day or so.

so I was in a medical induced coma, due to flesh eating bacteria. 2 weeks i was completely out had a bunch of surgeries and honestly i have no recollection of anything during that time. i dont remember any dreams nothing at all it was total gone time. it was of course after xmas and then was woke around Jan 15 2022. had a lot of hallucinations and everyone had small heads huge eyes like saucers for eye size and head barely fit around eyes and had 1970s psychedelic images flowing from behind everyone. that seventies show when forman was getting butt chewed by parents stuff. massive paranoia thought someone wanted to kill me for no reason. apparently that is normal behavior too. but atrophy sucks infection took around 4 inches of my colon and had to live on an ileostomy for a year, learn how to stand, walk and slowly learn how to maintain my wounds from surgery and ostomy work. sleep issues after and then dealing with being stuck with needles up to 6 times a day i am happy to be alive and thankful to all who worked to save me. also hope to never have to go back to a hospital again. the colon thing was 2 weeks after i was woke; i had perforated bowel and emergency removal woke up with the tubes down my throat unable to move heard everything unable to do anything just lay there. finally in the waiting room after surgery my sister and nurse noticed i was trying to move my hand asked if i was awake, thumbs up and they knew i was awake but not for how long. had to wait another 2 hours with tubes down my throat until they pulled everything and back to ICU till i was cleared to general care. it was a mess to me i saw that time after all the stuff was removed my eyes were open and if i looked to my sides i saw long hallways in the icu room and dead people who were just waiting for something and would look at me not say anything. I was freaking out of course but told myself i was hallucinating, then of course the horror movie thing one of them got up stood next to me no eyes old 50's to 60's waitress outfit and just stood there to see if i would flinch. i just closed my eyes and focused on breathing calmly. odd now i remember some things that made no sense like doc notes saying i wake up during anesthesia use. sorry for my lack of format and disorganization. odd to formulate thoughts sometimes now, things are out of order occasionally and i cannot fix it just have to chill.

20:15 Well, that summarizes it well.

Yo spark im a huge fan. watch all your vids. Heres a vid idea! Anaphylactic attacks is cool one I also have a comment to that so were could i submit it? Keep up the great work

For me i was in a coma 8 days and the story starts really when i wake up. I was in a car accident but i dont remember it or a week or two before it. People told me about things we did and its like they were lying to me. It was almost a year ago ans still things pop up the other day in my closet i looked in a bag that was takenn from the wreck and there was library books i dont remember getting. Good luck explaining that one. i was walking in a field with my cat and i was like somethings sorta off here like why is my cat with me (im guessing this was dreaming as i was waking up and coming to?) I all sudden am in hospital bed and theres a tube in my throat and my hands are strapped to the bed (this is done so you wont tear tubes out when you wake up because to say the least it is quite unpleasant) well im panicking and the nurses tell me i was in a coma just relax and breath theyre turning the machine off and i have to breathe for 15 minutes on my own before they turn the machine off.so i am laborously trying to breath with this thing. About ten minutes in the nurse takes my restraints off making me promise to not tear the tube out. Finally they take it out and i couldn't breath they had to stick a vacuum down to suck fluids out iirc then i could breath. My life hadnt really hit me yet i just was thinking about tryinf to remember what happened. I am non vocal so i couldnt really ask plus they didnt put my glasses on for a while. Finally all the nurses leave but one. I draw glasses on my face with my finger feabely. She finds them puts them on me. I noticed somehow they were my old pair. I look forwsrd my eyes adjust and theres a white board. It says "scarlet i have your cat she is safe at our house. I love you - mom" thats when my life on the outside hits i remember my parents my cat my apartment my job all these things and im not sure if any of them realize what had happened. And i had no phone. (Crash surveillance footage actually shows too a few people stop and come over i was ejected from the vehicle but they are all just recording a video of me you can see them like smile and what looks like laugh. Then few people start going through the stuff that spilled out and going threw my upside down car and taking things. I lost my oled switch my permitted handgun and my phone and purse with my cash and cards. People got into my phone and cash app requested my friends to venmo them with sob stories etc and someone sent them 40 bucks ir was awful. Anyways it took like 3 days to be comfortable enough to walk with a walker. And i actually went home another 10 days after that. Like one of the worst parts besides the tube is catheters and having to use the bathroom in your bed in a bed pan. Its absolutely humiliating and foul. And painful and uncomfortable. Then they have a nurse even men (i am a woman who is 30) and they use a damn wash cloth to "clean you up" they will not let you do it yourself. God that was just violating i cried everytime. So i begged to have the catheter removed so i could hobble to the bathroom. I remember being so sick feeling when id even sit up. And being in the icu itself is a bit surreal. The things you hear and see. More then once i saw this odd bed that seemed like it had a really tall mattress being wheeled by. I learned from a cool nurse that is how they move bodies. It has a false top to look like an empty bed. I dont know why it felt so shocking i mean i was myself not far from being in one when i came in. The whole experience was alot. I hallucinated a bit for about a week. It was hard to sleep as i fesred id slip back into a coma idk why but this lack of sleep and the medicine might have added to is. I was convinced there were bugs all over. And when i got moved into the next like ward down (med surge) i thought the lady next door was conspiring to kill me. I heard it loud and clear. Never hallucinated in my life before this. Never did again after this either. A good sleep and some food and i never hallucinated again. Anyways i got out with a broken ankle and hairline fracture on my skull. Sprained wrists two broken fingers bruised ribs and an overwhelming fear that everyone driving around me might be on f3nt4nyl (the reason i crashed a girl on f3nt nodded off and apparently swerved into my lane causing me to have to veere off into the sidewalk slamming a pole spinning and flipping. And im tiny 5 foot 105 pounds so i actually slipped out of my seatbelt. And i was like a 2 minute drive from making it home. So be careful out there trust me you never wanna go through this. Hope my story was interesting to you guys because it was certainly uh memorable to say the least for me. I wont be forgetting it anytime soon. Its crazy almost a year to the day has passed next month it feels like yesterday.

Last week I apparently fell into a coma for a few hours after doctors overdosed me on meds, last thing I remember was me shaking and my eyelids uncontrollably opening and closing (me having a seizure apparently) and doctors pinching me and putting all sorts of things on me

Woke up on a ventilator, had a feeding tube & catheter. The feeding tube they put in took a chunk out of my nose. Couldn't speak when I woke up. The only person in the hospital that knew sign language was my sister. I WISH I would have died that night. Now I live a life of suffering and pain. Mentally and physically. I have ZERO hope left. The US is a POS.

8:08: 'I can't imagine loosing your passion for something you really loved before'- Well, my immediate thought was that at some level this fellow's brain was quite frustrated with being unable to move and walk and talk, and having listened to those playlists again and again with the emotional trauma must have made that memory.

I was in a voma for maybe 4hours (stupidly dhort 😂😂). I'd been paralyzed but awake during surgery and the doctors over corrected. I remember the horror if being awake during surgery, some woman gasping then doctors hissing at each other, then someone saying, "oh ky god," then a split second darkness before a man anxiously adking, "these are too low, why isn't she waking up?" His voice slowly turned onto demon boice then the worst nightmare of my life where I was being mutilated and experimented on and trying to escape. I was gasping screaming and writhing and telling my mother to help me and what they were doing to me. They did a whole lot of tests and wrote some BS on anesthesia but the most telling thing is the waved a lot of ky medical bills from that stay. Yeah, I was 12 and still have PTSD ☹️.

I was in a coma for over a week. All the dreaming happened after I first awoke. During the coma, I was without any memory or sensory input; I was practically dead. Granted, the reason I was in a coma was a stroke and brain surgery, so I am sure that affected how much activity the brain could deal with. The moment I went into coma to I awoke was instant, as no time had past at all.

I was in a coma after a horrible overdose. I was on life support and the doctors kept telling my parents I was long gone and brain dead. and to pull the plug. I had terrifying dreams for 2 weeks straight and woke up so confused. The drugs made me move around and thrash while unconscious. So I have only one functioning vocal cord now because of the ventilator and the damage it caused. I told my parents that someone had beaten me after breaking into my house. I had no memory of trying to take my own life.

My mom just passed wednesday unexpectedly at sixty two years old. I'm not a believer but I really hope that she is Somewhere...peacefull.

"To die, to sleep; ay, there's the rub. For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, when we have shuffled off this mortal coil?"

My buddy was in a car accident, flipped car end over end 6 x, when thru both front and rear windshields, was dead for like several minutes, coma 9 months. He said it was like literally nothing. Like getting turned off and turned back on, but a sense of blackness or nothingness thst time mustve passed in between. He was mostly ok, had some cognitive brain damage and constant memory issues.

Ive never been in a coma but ive had several Lifetime dreams, from birth to death, and sometimes itll continue with my "consciousness" now in the dreamlifes child? They're exhausting.

A friend of mine was in a coma for 2 weeks. She didn't know she was pregnant and developed Preeclampsia. Her mother just found her unconscious one morning. Unfortunately, her son couldn't be saved. She doesn't remember much but does remember feeling weight in her arms and someone saying, "she deserves one photo." When she woke up and was told everything, and saw the photo she was shattered she never got to see him with her own eyes. She has since had a little girl but she goes to her sons grave on the anniversary every year, he would have been 4 this year.

Not me but my old art teacher. When he was younger he got into a major car crash. He was slammed through the window and he was found in a ditch. The only reason he survived was because someone made a prank call to EMS and while they were driving back to the EMS station they found the crash car in my art teacher on the side of the road. He was in a coma for about 2 months. He said that it was like he was living his normal day and he was visiting his family members and friends. When he woke up, he was in the hospital with his friend by his side, he asked him what happened because he was literally just talking to him and his friend admitted to him that he was in a coma. That's actually the reason why my art teacher was covered in tattoos because he has major scars from being thrown through that window. what's even better about this story is that he was actually a drug addict before the crash and being in the coma for 2 months, Not only allowed him get though withdrawal but also gave him the shock to his system recover and to work on himself. He was my favorite art teacher. Probably my favorite teacher in that entire school and he cultivated my love for art and drawing. I don't know if you're looking at this Mr. L, but thank you for being my teacher!

As someone who had chronic night terrors growing up, I can tell you dreams can be like that. Coma or not.

Makes me wonder if they played some language learning cds while a person is in a coma if they would wake up speaking a new language.

i was in coma for week after car crash it was like i closed my eyes then opened them again

I was maybe 10 and jumping on the couch, fell and smashed my face on the brand new marble fireplace my parents got. It was weird just jumping then black. I could tell time was passing but I couldn’t hear or see anything. Like I had ear plugs in and eye covers on. Couldn’t feel anything so I was bored for days then suddenly I’m awake leaving the hospital. Weirdest memory ever

The whole Anna story, living a whole life in a dream only to wake up as you die and return and continue the real life you had before it. I had that happen to me. I don't think you ever get over it. Only thing was I was a dinosaur and it was millions/billions of years ago. I joke around a lot that I miss my dinosaur wife, but I really mean it and no one can understand that pain of the entire life you lost/ended. You are seasoned compared to your peers, but not at the same time. Imagine living an entire life and dying, being reincarnated into a human body that already had some life going for it when you hopped in, and you having to continue that human's life. Extremely disorienting.

It was 2 am when i passed out on a saturday.I woke up in MIDNIGHT.I checked the day

3:59 im sorry but how the heck do you manage to swallow your tongue 😭 😭

I have been in deep and shallow commas more than once. There is always memory wipe of the actual event leading to the comma. But it is possible to remember events leading prior to that. I have no memory during deep commas. During shallow commas I been able to hear and even think to a limited degree. But trapped inside my body unable to respond. I remember one time my eyes were physically opened during a shallow comma and able see people. Coming out of a comma can be the most unreal experience. Because the senses are not working correctly and just plain misleading. Leaving me to believe things that I later found to be unreal. It permanently effected me, left me always wondering is what I experiencing now real or do I only think it is real.

16:00 "...my vision turned into a static screen..." 😂😂😂

then started a intense headache and nausea

i had childhood itp while in germany. i think i was around a year old when it happened

3:46 "I know that statistically that they don't happen very often" the road directly in front of my neighborhood averages 1-2 crashes a month, 50% of them time they are actually pretty serious--

The last story kind of reminds of purgatory in a way

I was in a car accident, and I was in a coma for 5 days. I heard my mom telling them to take me off of life support, saying "she didn't have a quality life before she went through the windshield, now that she's probably crippled, she's just going to be a burden on everybody that cared for her at one point" her husband kept telling her not to talk like that in front of me and she said "Why? The bitch is fucking broccoli now, she might as well be a plant" When she died, everyone was pissed because I told my sisters I was sorry for their loss and decided not to deal with them anymore

The last one you know that feeling when u about to fall and pee yourself yea that's scary but now I wanna look up that coma stuff on yt

How do you swallow your toung the thing under it hold it in your mouth right? so did that just break?
