I know someone that was in a coma and they said the same thing. ALL of your most freaky and horryifying nightmares like a movie.

Yeah, and the worst thing is you're in the nightmare so long that it's committed to long term memory. I can barely remember the week before and the week after but can vividly remember the nightmares. Like others have mentioned, lots of medical experimentation dreams. A lot of trying to get the mask off and the tubes out (they had to put me in restraints), and a lot of trying to find something to drink. I also spent a lot of time thinking I was stuck to walls I guess because I was stuck to the bed.

Another weird phenomenon is that a lot of times I would see the people in the room with me (they told me my eyes were open sometimes) except in my mind we would be somewhere else. For example, one time I was stuck on the top of a very tall bookcase and my parents were standing at the bottom with my Dr. talking about how to help me. When I woke up I recognized all the Dr's and nurses around me from my dreams.

I told my wife that if it ever happens again to pull the plug at two weeks.
