It’s really scary how being under anaesthesia is the closest we come to experiencing death

[Savvir]

Nah. You can have the best sleep in the world and you’ll still have dreams, etc that still makes you feel alive.

you dream everytime you sleep breh?

I had an operation two weeks ago on the side of my face and the operation lasted about 8hrs. It was my first time ever having an operation and the experience still freaks me out. Basically based on the fact that it was the closest I ever came to experiencing death.

When we go to sleep for 8hrs every night. Even though we are asleep, we still dream, occasionally, wake up, retain our consciousness, memory. It’s nothing like death.

Being under anaesthesia is nothing like sleep. Before the operation begun the anaesthetic told me to keep clasping my hand and that was it. I woke up again in 8hrs after the operation. But those 8hrs was completely dark. No memory, no dreams, no occasionally waking up. Just complete blackout. It’s basically what will happen when we die.

The only difference between anaesthesia and death is that unlike anaesthesia, death is permanent for eternity. I mean your body is still functioning when under anaesthesia, but it makes no difference to you because as you don’t experience anything.

It’s still crazy that we know very little about brain functioning and neural circuitry under anesthesia. One of the top 3 inventions of modern times.

It's an interesting point that I never considered.

No dreams sleep is the only sleep I wake up from rested

 

[Mike Nasty]

you must not sleep well because there are times i be completely out like a light, no xan needed.

Have you ever been put under? Cause he's right it was nothing like sleep, and I understand the OPs point.

Plenty of people go to sleep and wake up feeling like they experienced nothing inbetween.

As for that being like death...nobody who has actually had NDE's (myself included) has ever described death like this. Some sort of passive nothingness for eternity. Before I got rushed to surgery I was already drifting in and out of body in the waiting room for 6 hours. And when they put me under I was already lucid and was watching a lot of what was going on from above my body, beside my bed, even out by the nurses station in some parts, like a survalance tape or some shyt.

Anybody who has done any astral travel/lucid dreaming can probabbly tell you that the difference between remembering your dreams/OBE's is largely about how aware of your body you are when you fall asleep. The less body awareness you have at the time of exit, the less sensory awareness you carry on to the other side.

Same as in 'death', the goal of the various wise men and women being to die conciously and retain sensory awareness.

Your body dies just like an ice cube melts. The essence, the water, that it's made of changes states but never just ceases to exist.

nah i'm just going off his comparisons to sleep and descriptions like "No memory, no dreams, no occasionally waking up" i don't stir/dream when i sleep for the most part.

Nah, it's pretty normal to not experience dreams. I can sleep and not experience anything until I wake up.

Panic cause you didn't have a dream for once brehs

Nothing agaisnt op as i understand where he's coming from but this comment was

It’s not like sleeping, but it ain’t that far off.

Based on experience, it’s much faster than sleep. They told me to count backwards from 10 and before I could get to like 5, I woke up to some family bedside telling me that everything went well.

I don’t even remember the moment of going under, just waking up before I could count the next number.

Same here. I had hernia surgery a while back and that shyt seemed like a quick nap

I wish I could sleep without dreaming

either I don't dream much or it has vanished from my brain by the time I wake up. that time is good as gone

Smoke weed? I don't remember my dreams at all because I smoke weed before bed.

One time, I stopped smoking for a bit, and by day 3, I was having wild and vivid dreams.

Crazy

if you don't remember it, how do you know it even happened?
no i don't do drugs. i just don't think it happens all the time, cuz even when i was a child i wasn't waking up with dreams in my head. so i don't think it has to do with drugs.
unless its a nightmare that woke me up... or if i dreamed about a rapper. i'll even write that down because there was one time i dreamed about nip getting shot and that was before he got shot. i had a couple of dreams about the last man i dated, that was the reason why i agreed to go out with him. so it's like... either nightmares or significant stuff i will remember dreaming about but on a regular basis, i just wake up with nothing but crust in my eyes lol.

My wife tells me I laugh and talk in my sleep so I must be dreaming but idunremember none of that

My mom only describes anesthesia as the best sleep you’ll ever have in your life and I agree. Maybe it’s because I don’t dream often.
