Many years ago, I knew a chick that was involved in a bad wreck at the intersection of Greenleaves Blvd & hwy 190 in Mandeville and she spent 3 -4 months in a coma. We went to HS together and even though we didn't know each other personally, she still knew me. Anyway, after she came out of the coma, whenever I would see her, sometimes she knew me, sometimes she didn't.

Do you have memory of your coma (Dr's, visitors, etc)?
i remember waking up in the hospital with a needle in my arm. I was 6 or so. I had eaten a bunch of Halloween candy and went in to a diabetic coma. My mom thought i was dead. The hospital took their time and woke me up. This wasn't anything super serious but it was considered a coma.

Yes, fractured skull, age 7. Don’t remember anything during coma. Only lasted from the fracture time of about 2 pm until next day. Woke up in ER and they were trying to get me to eat oatmeal. I hated oatmeal at the time.

It's a very strange feeling when you find out about things you did, but have absolutely no memory of.
I usually experience this on Sunday mornings

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.
