People Who Were In A Coma Describe What It Was Really Like

A coma is a period of prolonged unconsciousness brought on by illness or injury. The person in a coma is unable to respond to external stimuli.

The person is very much still alive but the brain is functioning at its lowest stage of alertness.

Having a family member in a coma can be a devastating experience. Will they ever wake up? And will they ever be the same person again, with the same quality of life?

But what’s it like for the person actually in the coma?

Some people have described it as a dream-like state, though the experience can vary from person to person.

People went into further detail after Redditor portlover91 asked the online community:

“People who have been in coma, what was it like? Do you dream? Does it feel like you’ve been asleep for a long time?”

“I was in a coma for over three days…”

“I was in a coma for over three days but was in the hospital for over two months. The doctors were trying different procedures for my brain to kickstart the short-term memory. I literally couldn’t remember anything.”

“I would routinely reintroduce myself to nurses, not remembering them from a few minutes prior. I would start a conversation, only to forget what I was saying mid-sentence, and just stop talking. It was so frustrating.”

“I don’t remember anything from that time, but I remember how I felt about certain situations when they are brought up by others. As an example, a person who I’m no longer with yelled at me, with nurses present, and was banned from visiting.”

“I don’t remember that exchange, but I remember feeling extremely hurt and sad, but didn’t know why.”

“When I was speaking with a relative, she brought up the ‘yelling situation’ and the feelings came flooding back, but not what was said or who was there.”

“I’m getting better and I’m able to retain new memories, overall… just not during any extremely stressful moments.”

“My brain protects itself and stops “recording” when I find myself in a stressful situation. It’s really not fun and can be truly challenging.” ~ Everythings5

“Was in an induced coma…”

“Was in an induced coma for 6 weeks due to pancreatitis. What I remember was so scary. I guess it was a nightmare or something but I dreamt I was being held in a basement by a demon.”

“It felt so real. When I told the doctors they said it was the Propofol that made me hallucinate.” ~ summerswifey

“I have very few vivid memories…”

“I was in a coma for 6 weeks with double pneumonia, sepsis, and kidney failure.”

“I have very few vivid memories from being under but had some very strange visions once I woke due to the number of drugs I was pumped full of. I had no concept of time and thought I had only been out for a day or so.” ~ Zodiackillerstadia

“He said it was like…”

“My husband was placed in an induced coma following a motorcycle accident. He said it was like time stopped in his mind, and he was stuck in a loop of the accident.”

“He was conscious and remembers when he was loaded onto the flying doctor’s plane at the scene of the accident, but he doesn’t remember arriving at the hospital.” ~ FormalMango

“A good friend of mine…”

“A good friend of mine was in an accident this past summer and ended up in a coma for about two weeks. He said the only thing he really remembers is dreaming he was walking around in the dark.”

“After walking for a few minutes, he saw his eyelids as if he were inside his own head. As he approached them, they opened, and that’s when he woke up.” ~ Platonus44

“He thought we were in a spaceship.”

“My boyfriend was in a coma for three days. We sat with him and talked to him the whole time. He doesn’t remember any of it.”

“When he woke up, he didn’t know who I was, but he recognized his mother. He hallucinated for several days after that. He thought we were in a spaceship.

“I asked if there was a Wookie aboard and he said ‘Yes! You!’” ~ PersonMcNugget

“But I just remember it being dark…”

“It was only a few days in a medically induced coma.”

“But I just remember it being dark, short blips of family being in the room, and when the doctor first tried telling me where I was and asking me if I knew my name, I was tempted to answer it as Brittney Spears.”

“But I didn’t want my parents freaking out.” ~ PM_Worst_Fart_Story

“Five days in total.”

“Five days in total.”

“They pulled me out of it after two or three days and I extubated myself, ripped out my IVs and punched a nurse before they sedated me again and restrained me.”

“Day five I woke up and the first thing I remember is not knowing anything. Had to describe, but my brain was basically at a primal level. The only thing I could process was fear.

“Then I ‘remembered’ I was human. At that point, it was ‘okay, my name is X, I’m alive. I’m in a hospital. Those are nurses. Holy s*** I fell off a cliff!’ and I calmed down.”

“After that things are blurry. I think they pushed something to relax me after my initial panic. I apparently signalled to ask for a pen and paper (I was retubed so I couldn’t speak) and wrote, ‘Can I have a whiskey IV?’ And ‘I feel like a salad.’”

“As far as while I was under, my last memory was being loaded into a helicopter and the medic asking ‘X, you’re in the bird, it’s gonna be okay. Do you understand?’ And me saying ‘Yeah, this s*** hurts, knock me the f**k out.’”

“And something got pushed in my IV and next thing I know I’m experiencing what I said above. No dreams, no locked-in syndrome, nothing.” ~ TacosArePeopleToo

“I just remember…”

“I was in a diabetic coma and don’t remember any of it and most of the bit before. I just remember waking up feeling amazing (morphine) and zero pain, which was lovely.” ~ JustPassingShhhh

“When I (slowly) woke up…”

“I was in a diabetic coma for two days. No dreams, no nothing, just out. When I (slowly) woke up I had some kind of mild/minor amnesia.”

“I didn’t know where I was, or who I was, but I recognized my mom immediately when I saw her. TMI but the doctors were just about to put in a catheter when I woke up, then I peed for like two minutes straight.”

“The nurse was impressed.” ~ MingusMonz

“I had a C-section…”

“I had a C-section and woke up four days later in the ICU. Amniotic fluid leaked into my lungs during the C section. I also lost a lot of blood and needed three blood transfusions.”

“I was only in a coma for four days. It was black, no dreams, no time passing. My memories of before the coma don’t have a timeline nor make any sense.”

“To me, it happened in surgery, I was fully awake and started getting tired and then black. The family says it happened differently, that it was after and had visitors for those days. I don’t remember any of those days at all.”

“I still have issues with short-term memory.” ~ NotBadSinger532

We’ve all seen movies about people who fall into comas after an accident or following a grave illness.

Hopefully, these stories give the rest of you some more insight into the experience.

And hopefully, hopefully you don’t ever have to experience it for yourselves.

While it might sound like a long time, considering time is ticking away as you’re reading this, we never have as much as we think.

So if life ended tomorrow and you knew about it in advance, what would you do with your final hours?

Reddit user, di_guyo, wanted to know what you would do with finite time when they asked:

You find out you have 1 hour to live, what do you do with your last hour on earth?

Indulge In Your Wildest Fantasies

“I have allergies. I will eat everything I had to stop eating because of them.” ~ shortinha

If We’re Being Real With Ourselves Here…

“Panic for an hour then die” ~ Grape_Jamz

“Most realistic answer here.” ~ lemaquilleur

Actually, This Feels The Most Realistic

Say Good-Bye And Take A Seat

“Load the kids into the car, drive out to my parents’ place, give them all hugs and kisses, grab one of their whiskey bottles, walk out back to the lake, sit on the pier, and spend the last 10-15 minutes drinking and enjoying the view.” ~ AZNDavyJones

Get All The Important Messages Out Of The Way

“Hug all my immediate family. Make videos to send to all the people I love. I just lost someone and I’d kill for more voicemails and videos of them to replay when I miss them. I don’t wanna forget how they looked or sounded.” ~ Crimtot

“I’d have to hug my family as well, all jokes in this thread aside. My kids especially. Then for the last ten minutes I’d drive somewhere and park my car, call an ambulance. I want to give my family hugs, but I don’t want them to end up suddenly holding onto a corpse.” ~ Akhi11eus

“Record messages to my daughters for all of their major events in their life they have gotten to yet, graduations, weddings, births, that I won’t get a chance to be there for.”

“I would tell them how proud of them I am, and how they need to always look out for they mom.”

“I would tell my wife I love her, and my dogs they are the best boys/girls.” ~ An_aussie_in_ct

“Also I’d tell her it’s ok to move on, I wouldn’t want her to be alone the rest of her life” ~ adirtymedic

Mess With People In The Future

“Take a couple thousand dollars out of the bank. Die with that money clutched in my hand and surrounded by cryptic messages with allusions toward a much greater hidden treasure.” ~ remembernottopost

“Put GPS coordinates in a note that lead to a landmark/statue/whatever that you hate. People trying to find the statue will destroy it.” ~ BlatantConservative

This Does Feel The Most Likely…

“fall in a spiraling anxiety attack, trying to find out what to do for my last hour.”

“go see my parents? spend the time with my bf? eat my last meal? watch one more good show? walk in nature? say my good byes to my friends?”

“I have to make choices, what if I disappoint people because I didn’t contact them? I don’t have a will, what do I want to leave to whom? the dog won’t even understand that I’m dead!! I spent all my life studying for WHAT?”

“I’m gonna die having done nothing but that! No time to think about that, I should go play fetch with the pup… Do UberEats deliver lobster?”

“I don’t want my bf to be traumatized that way either. I’ve wasted already 5 minutes out of my last 60 minutes trying to figure it out, what if I get to do nothing because I was indecisi” ~ ChibiSailorMercury

But What Happens When You’ve Actually Lived It?

“I lived in Maui during the ‘Ballistic Missle Inbound this is not a drill’ event. We had 15 minutes. I was frantic trying to find out if it was true.”

“Then the resolve I was gonna die hit. I went outside smoked a cigarette and looked out at the ocean. I called none of my 6 kids.”

“Nobody picks up anyway and I didn’t want it to look like I favored one over the other. I reviewed my life and I was good.”

“Luckily it was a mistake. But I’ll never forget that feeling.” ~ itsrainingkids

Maybe have that donut today?

After all, it’s not like the world is ending tomorrow, right?

People Talk About How Lucid Dreaming Works

Lucid dreaming is when you are aware that you’re dreaming and you can have some kind of control over the experience.

Think of it as a sort of Choose Your Own Adventure game! Or something like that…

It sounds kind of cool, doesn’t it?

Are you ready to learn a little bit about how lucid dreaming works?

Let’s see what AskReddit users had to say about it.

1. From a veteran.

“I came across lucid dreaming when I was in 8th grade and have been learning about it since.

Ill tell you my experience:

I fell asleep around 10:00am and I started to dream. I left my house in the dream and then realized I was dreaming, after I realized I looked at the floor and the detail of the flowers were so realistic.

Then I ran and flew in the air like superman than I woke up.

Here are some tips.

When lucid dream don’t get to exited or you will wake up.

You can do anything you want while lucid dreaming.

You can hold your nose and breathe out of it while dreaming to see if your lucid.

Having s*x in a lucid dream is very realistic and vivid but don’t get to excited because you will wake up.

If your dream starts to fall apart or you start to wake up spin in your dream in circles to stabilise the dream and you can also rub your hands.

You can summon anything you want by thinking of it while dreaming then turning around or by calling the person name out loud and then entering rooms.

I’ve been lucid dreaming ever since.”

2. Write it down.

“I’m a natural lucid dreamer but I never forced it (never used any techniques myself).

There are techniques to enhance your abilities of lucid dreaming. I’d advise you to stay away from (most of) those, cause you might get sleep paralysis, or worse case you might get trouble distinguishing real life from your dreams.

One ‘safe’ method is writing down everything you remember right after you wake up from (any) dream. Research other methods on the risk of getting sleep paralysis.”

3. Catch 22.

“I discovered it before I knew the term when I was a child.

I used to get nightmares pretty regularly and I remember one time having the thought that I didn’t need to worry because it was just a dream, while I was still in the dream. From there I started influencing it whenever I had that realization. It wasn’t until years later I learned about lucid dreaming.

It can be very realistic but it’s a catch 22, you have to realize it’s NOT real first in order to do it so anything you then dream is known to be unreal or it wouldn’t even be happening. Rarely I will lose myself in it a little.”

4. Here’s the plan.

“I was always a lucid dreamer and just assumed everyone else was.

It wasn’t until people started talking about strange dreams or nightmares and their inability to stop them that I realized anything was different.

To start the one thing I’ve told be that some people have said worked is start with plan.

Go to sleep with a grafted idea so when you’re in it you can recognize you’re dreaming. Also you not in control the whole time, as you go through the different levels of sleep you will gain control and lose it.

It can be as realistic, but I also dream in color and can smell and taste which I understand not everyone can do.”

5. Open the door.

“If you manage to realize you’re in a dream and want, say, a basket of kittens, don’t try to make it just appear in front of you.

Make it behind you and turn around to get it, or open a door and it’s on the other side.”

6. Does it for me.

“I learned by doing it, usually in nightmares, after realizing that a dream didn’t make sense or after waking up and then immediately falling back asleep.

To do it, I’d recommend just waking up and falling asleep a bunch of times in a row, that usually does it for me. I’d say to set aside a morning when you can sleep in, then after you first wake up, set an alarm for 15-25 minutes, fall asleep, wake up, reset the alarm and so on. Eventually you’re likely to find yourself in a lucid dream.

They vary in how real they seem. The more you concentrate on them being a dream and trying to control things, the less real they seem. Just flying or taking note of the fact that you are in a dream won’t usually disturb it too much, but altering the dream substantially will often wake you up.

For instance, I had a dream that I was on a mountain, being rushed by Tolkienesque orcish/goblinoid creatures and I tore apart the landscape (and a bunch of them) with my mind, to prevent them from reaching me. But this also led to me waking up eventually. On the other hand, just flying around is usually fine.”

7. Wild stuff.

“Step one is to realize you’re dreaming. Then I concentrate kinda like how they power up in DBZ. Then I fly away.

It depends on my mental strength how much I can do tho. Sometimes I can alter the real world and use my hands to open my eyes if I’m done with the dream.”

8. A little tip.

“I don’t do it on purpose but when I do lucid dream I try hard to stay in the dream. The most annoying thing is being in the dream and thinking about the real world because that wakes me up every time.

It could be something as small as thinking about what time it is or if I’m late for school. Try to stay in the dream state without being too aware.”

9. Time to fly.

“I’ve been able to do it for years. I’m deathly stupidly terrified of zombies so lucid dreaming is great.

A lot of times when I realize I’m dreaming it’s if there is a mirror and I look into it. I’ll get brave and continue my dream but when sh*t hits the fan I’ll yell at myself to wake up. The one thing I cannot do is run forward if I need to get away it has to be backwards but I can fly.

The flying is so real when I wake up I feel like I can still fly the feeling is so strong still until reality hits. If they’re good dreams I’ll finish them up the way I want. This doesn’t always happen I can’t control when it happens.

It’s just always the same bathroom I end up in with the same mirror I look into and I can control my dreams.”

10. Doesn’t always work.

“I learned about lucid dreaming when I was 12. I had a dream people were falling from the sky off of tall buildings with smoke pouring out of them.

It hit me on such an emotional level I wrote my dream down. 3 months later 9/11 happened and I saw my dream on tv — people jumping off the towers because it was a better alternative than burning alive or getting crushed by debris.

I started doing research about dreams that seem real and started trying to predict futures. This is also when I realized my dreaming in color was unusual. For a while I thought I caused 9/11 and that had it’s own traumatic effect on my life, but now I listen to quite a bit of youtube lucid dreaming meditations and every now and again I feel a deja vu moment like my dreams coming true again, but never anything as insane as 9/11.

I do wake up less rested after I lucid dream. It’s also good to bear in mind that intentional lucid dreaming doesn’t always work. Have realistic expectations, and understand it takes practice.

You are not going to feel like you are in a movie or t.v. show, it’s like you’re awake and dreaming at the same time. You can make decisions but it doesn’t always move the dream forward.”

11. Out of body experience.

“Lucid dreams are a type of “out of body” experience. In the simplest terms, when the body goes to sleep but the mind is awake, you’re “out of body.”

I had a lot of these experiences in my early twenties. I first heard about how to do it on some random internet forum. I experienced the vibrational state the first night I tried and quickly became obsessed with the mechanics of the process.

There are basically two ways to enter the OOB state. The first way is to split consciously from the waking state by concentrating on an object. This is a really bizarre experience that may or may not be accompanied by hallucinations. The second is to “wake up” inside of a dream, usually through a willful action that questions reality, like pulling on your finger to stretch it out, jumping up to fly, or walking through a wall.

When you enter consciously, there is a certain tangible aspect of the experience that is lacking in lucid dreams. Everything feels much more physical. I would basically “pop out” in a mirror image of the physical world and would feel like I was still in my body. Subconscious imagery could intrude quite easily, though, and then I’d fall into a dream.

When you “wake up” from the subconscious state, i.e., a dream, you’re basically doing the opposite of this. You realize that your body is asleep, but your mind isn’t fully awake. The problem is you are enveloped in subconscious imagery and often can’t dig your way out of it before losing that spark of consciousness.

This is why lucid dreams can feel a bit more “manufactured.” When the subconscious imagery is wiped away from your mental lens, you find yourself in the same state as you would in a conscious split.

The material there is basically super pliable and we can manipulate it with our creative imagination. This can pose a problem for those who are easily convinced by personal experience because it can be very difficult to determine the source of any particular projection.

Maybe it’s your subconscious, maybe it’s another being. Sadly, the experience itself can tell you nothing about the truth of the experience.”

Now we want to hear from you.

If you have any experience with lucid dreaming, please fill us in in the comments.

We look forward to it!

People Share Stories About When They Dreamed So Hard It Felt Real

Have you ever had a dream that seemed so real that you woke up and said to yourself, “did that just really happen to me…?”

And sometimes that can be a good thing or a bad thing, FYI…

Has that ever happened to you?

AskReddit users opened up about the most vivid, realistic dreams they’ve ever had.

1. Where are my blades?!?!

“As a kid in the 1990s I dreamed that my neighbour had a rollerblade shop in her backyard and she said I could pick out any pair I wanted!

The next morning I went out and popped my head over the fence and it was just a stupid normal backyard.

No rollerblades for me.”

2. Where’s my son?

“I once dreamed i had a son and i haf to go get him from school but I couldn’t get there in time.

When I woke up I searched the number of his mother in my phone to let her know I couldn’t get there in time.

It took a minute before I realized I don’t have a gf or a son.

I was 17 at the time.”

3. Like an action movie.

“I sometimes have super intense action dreams where a good friend and I are up against the world in some dire, overused Hollywood plot.

Conspiracy thrillers, taking down billionaires in covert missions, overthrowing a corrupt politician, it’s all there.

I know they’re not real, but it makes me feel a little more empowered when I wake up to make the coffee.”

4. Woke up in a panic.

“Had a dream a few years ago that grandma died. Woke up crying and called her. Didn’t get an answer because she was asleep.

Started freaking out and asked mom if grandma was okay. Mom laughed at me. I got a call from grandma after she had woken up and saw that I’d tried to call her.

She was perfectly fine…”

5. Are you okay?

“I killed people in my dream and stuffed their phone in their mouths.

When I woke up, I felt an intense sense of guilt and checked my room for bodies. After about a minute, I realized that was highly improbable.

And yes, I’m a dumb*ss.”

6. Work nightmares.

“I have had dreams where I am at work and they seem so d*mn real. I actually had a work nightmare come true.

I had this nightmare that I would not realize I was scheduled and not show up to work.

I actually had that happen a couple years ago. I made it in after my boss was like ‘Hey where the hell are you?’”

7. Every night.

“Every night I have hyper-realistic dreams.

Some times it’s me in a huge space ship entering a new world to colonize it. Other times it’s about ghosts crawling out of holes in the walls. Both I can tell when I wake up were dreams.

But there are some…Sweet bees are they annoying. They’re just me at work, and I move some bottles to another shelf. When I go to work the following day, I go to the shelf to get them. No bottles. It was a dream. Or I’ll have a conversation with someone and only when I reference it do I realize it was a dream.

Every night I dream so vividly. I hate it 95% of the time because I always wake up feeling exhausted, either emotionally or mentally. I even asked my doctor once if there is medication to prevent me from dreaming.

I remember dreams from years ago that pop into my head randomly like they’re memories. I wish I could sleep and not dream.”

8. Italy.

“I had what felt like a really long dream that I was living in Italy. Now, obviously it was just a dream and couldn’t have happened because I was just an average American in my early 20s at the time living in the bumf*ck country side.

But, it felt so real. I had a full-time job in my dream (can’t recall what job though) and even remember that I was invited to some party after a day of work. I had two pet dogs in my dream, one a Chihuahua and one a mix that I can’t recall. I was living alone but generally enjoying my life in Italy.

Again, it was all just a dream but it felt so frickin’ weird waking up and realizing it wasn’t all real, that I was still in my messy bedroom in my parent’s home. I had a mild panic attack when I woke up utterly confused at what the heck happened. For a brief moment, I genuinely thought that I was actually in Italy and that me being in my parent’s home was the actual dream.

It’s been years since then and I am nowhere near Italy or even have plans on going to Italy but I still think about that dream at times.”

9. So realistic.

“It happened to me when I was on cardiac medication, that cause sleeping issues as side effect. I had super realistic dream about my ex boyfriend cheating on me and bragging about it everywhere with his new girl.

When I woke up, I was genuinely sad and almost had tears in my eyes, but after a minute I realized it was just a dream. Day after that I had a dream, that I was stabbed to death by some creep I was running away from.

Or another time I woke up waving hands around my head because I thought, that wasps are attacking me. Dreams were so realistic, I was even little afraid of going to sleep.”

10. What are you doing?

“I dreamt that I had forgotten to schedule a meeting for my boss. I ran into work early the next day and sent out a meeting invite to my boss and the clients concerned.

My boss came into work and asked me what I was doing. I then explained he had asked me to set this meeting up yesterday and that he could send me the documents he needed printed.

Midway through explaining this I realized it was, in fact, a dream. He was not pleased.”

11. Bring on the meat.

“I dreamt of eating buffet of meats. I woke up with saliva coming out of my mouth like I can smell and taste the meats.

I waited till lunch got out to my favourite meat buffet restaurant just to find out it is closed because of quarantine despite of my government allows restaurants to open since they are necessity sector.

I was p*ssed off the whole day. F*ck that dream.”

12. Whoa…

“I had a dream that the space shuttle blew up in one of the most vivid dreams I have ever had…two days before it happened. That made me question some things, but was probably just a stupid coincidence.

The dream was so vivid that I jumped out of bed as soon as I woke up and typed out the dream and sent it to some friends on ICQ. Two days later I woke up to phone calls and a whole cr*pload of new messages on ICQ and IRC. I eventually picked up the phone and was told to turn on CNN.

I will never forget how vivid that dream was. I was watching a space shuttle launch on TV, which was for some reason being held in Central Park in NY.. along with my family. This is when I remember the dream starting to get lucid. I looked closer at the TV and it looked more and more sharp and vivid and I ended up being pulled right into the TV, at that point being aware that I’m dreaming.

I remember sort of looking over central park from a great height, the same vantage point that I saw on TV. I slowly descended and ended up on top of a skyscraper just south of central park. It was some sort of a residential tower that doesn’t actually exist (in my dream it was very tall). I remember feeling the breeze of the wind on my skin and the sunshine on my face, as I stood on the roof of that building.

In the distance I could see the space shuttle being set to launch right from central park. I was lucid so I knew that this made no sense, but there it was.. It was so vivid.. felt so real.. if over-exaggerated in the way everything appeared. Super tall skyscrapers, an oversized space shuttle, the perfect amount of sun shining on everything, producing an epic scene right in front of me.

I remember being up on that skyscraper with a bunch of people all cheering and watching the launch. There was a countdown and the space shuttle slowly took off.. but immediately had problems, as it for whatever reason started moving off to the left… eventually there was some sort of explosion, and the space shuttle flew right into one of the skyscrapers. The skycraper started falling, and the whole scene basically changed to a dark gloomy sky, as this was all happening.

The last thing I remember is our building being hit by another one, fire, and smoke, and I woke up… jumped out of bed, ran to my computer, and typed out the most vivid dream I have ever had.

Two days later it was February 1, 2003, and Space Shuttle Columbia disintegrated on reentry, as it was returning home.. A completely different scenario than the one I saw in my dream.. but I felt that tragedy in a strange way when it happened.

That was a super weird dream and I haven’t really had any like that since from what I can remember.. except for maybe some strange dreams I had when I was in New Orleans.”

Have you ever had a dream that felt totally real?

If so, please tell us all about it in the comments.

We can’t wait to hear from you!

In a study of 640 dream journals…

In a study of 640 dream journals conducted by Harvard, psychologists determined the dreams of prisoners in WWII POW camps were less aggressive than the standard male population. Rather than visions of extreme violence, the majority of soldiers dreamed of escape, family, loneliness, and home. 00
