So ok Dave in 2012 I was on life support for a week ( when I have a CRYSTAL CLEAR DNR ORDER) oh well it wasn’t my time. To the point, the dreams were mostly horrific I was kidnapped, tied up, taken away and held for ransom. There were a few episodes where my favorite brother in law was there to save me in the dreams. I did have two fun rides on a roller coaster laundry shoot an another in a boxcar turned racecar that I must’vebeen Going faster than the speed of light those were fine and plenty of fun but the people holding me captive were quite disturbing. When the surgeon finally allowed me to wake up I knew clearly they had been dreams an that I now had to deal with yet another long recovery. No big deal I’m sorta like a walking injury about to happen. I can also tell you when I was finally released from hospital I was then very emotional about all the madness that had gone on while I was sleeping and cried out of the blue for several days but in retrospect I know it’s all about the drugs. Now that I lead a good quality of life w/diet an exercise I rarely take medication, in turn I have no traumatic or dramatic dreams nor do overs of the hospital ones. I am a firm believer that drugs are made in labs by greedy company’s and good medicine comes from the Earth an it provides all that we need. I am 52 today. I stroked at 25 and am hemiplegic due to the injury. I’ve had open heart 4X’s and along list of injuries and surgeries due to them. I still today dream in my old sound body as opposed to the one I inhabit now that is disabled in some ways. I hope that helps put into your dream research a little more perspective. The one who has fallen and gotten back up is far stronger than the one who has never fallen. Happy dreams people-good thoughts and peaceful life🤙

DEA.R DREAM CATCHER, EVERYTHING you describe is familiar to me, the captivity, the roller coaster, traumatic dreams that still cause waking flashbacks. MY CONTENTION IS that doctors and nurses are not adequately trained to deal with emergence phenomena in the awakening from induced coma. Please continuethisdisssion best wishes, D```aid``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

The dreams were horrendous when I was in ICU but I can now laugh at some of them as they were so silly . My husband was hated by the staff , used to climb up the outside of the hospital to get in then the staff used to punch him back down with a boxing glove ! Just one of many dreams
