I had to have a general anaesthetic on Saturday morning and as I was having
the injection, before they hooked me up with the tubes, I just crashed out
until he started to bring me round.

My question is, why didn't I have any dreams?


I think the aneasthetic stops that activity within the brain.

OTOH once just waking up from a general aneasthesia at the dentist I
remember thinking I had fallen asleep on a mediterranean beach.

It was the dentists light shining through my eyelids. 8-|

Maybe you did have dreams, but you don't remember.



I know if you are *sedated* as opposed to aneasthetised they dose you
with an agent that makes you forget about the experience, and also
with an agent that makes you dis-interested in what's going on.

*BANG* -Oh he must be hammering something into my jaw.

*BANG* -Oh well.

*BANG* -Wonder what day it is, Im ever so tired.


I have never been in that situation, so many thanks for your experience.
