Coma

I know you can dream durring a coma, but can you become lucid? I mean, after I saw that one episode of Seinfeld, long story short, I wanted the plug pulled if I fell into a coma, unless I can become lucid.

I mean, after all, comas can last a long time, and I dont know if I really wanna be all 'in touch' with myself for too long, if you get me.

However, if one can become lucid for such a time period, the coma, instead of one enourmous dream, could possibly be a time period of bliss; a state of mind where you are living a dream life where anything is possible.

Which would rock like Blues Traveler opening for The Allman Bros. :tunes:

You get me?
So is it possible?

This should be in general discussion, unless you are willing to put yourself into a coma to achieve lucidity. :wink:

I guess it would be possible for a person in a coma to achieve lucidity, since it is believed that they are dreaming all the time. However it would probably be easier for a person that has already experienced it before.

I have actually read a story about a person in a coma that is lucid dreaming. The person could voluntarily wake up from the coma by leaving the dream, but doesn't because they wanted to dream forever. Which prompts a question. Do you guys think that if a person is lucid in a coma, they can wake up from it? Or at least have more control of their situation?

Maybe a person in a coma needs to become lucid and realise that they are in a dream state before they are able to wake up. From what i understand about it, the body or brain uses coma as a time for repair after massive trauma ( like as some theories go that dreaming every night sorts out our brain). Well maybe if the mind becomes too comfortable with this state then they are unable (or unwilling) to wake up?

Well pop goes my cherry, hi to all, hope this aint too banal or offensive.

Im sure it'd be fun to dream like that for ages... but eventually Im sure that you'd find it really depressing, only knowing people that are essentially, yourself.

No way. I want to cling on for as long as possible. I'd rather be damned than dead.

I'm glad I didn't get unplugged when I was in a coma!

Wow... tell us about your coma!

Did you dream? When you woke up how did you feel? Did you remember what put you in the coma?

I don't remember if I dreamed or not. It was a long time ago. I was walking down the street and got hit by an idiot going over 50 mph in his big '60s Pontiac. I woke up sometime later in a hospital with my leg up in the air. I was only 6 years old

Wow...You're lucky you survived.O.o.....

It would be fun to live in your dreams but what if you starve during the coma and die?Well that is if the coma lasted that long.

I think people can dream in coma.
If they dream a lot, I think it is a good thing, because dreaming mantain the brain.
So if a person dream a lot in coma, he/she will propably remember what he/she learned before the coma better than coma with less dreaming.

Yep..I'm lucky to have survived. About two years after the car hit me, I got hit by a truck. I have also survived motorcycle wrecks, being struck by lightning and an amusement park crash.

remind me never to be in the same state as you.

Wait if you truly are a redneck than you live in Arkansas so me and Ffx need to get the heck outa here.

i would never want anyone to unplug and you can do that cause in canada healthcare is FREE!!! :D

elmer fudd

What!? Healthcare is free?

Interesting question for this sort of forum

I really don't know... LDing for too long could get very very irritating.
Like in 'Waking Life' (the movie)
Although I could LD for a lot longer than him before getting annoyed :D

I didn't know there were movies about Lucid Dreaming. :?

No..I aint in Arkansas. I am in the Republic of Texas. You should feel safe with me around. If all that shit can happen to me and I am still alive, well and fully functional, I must be the luckiest sumbitch around
