Cool thing to do while going into narcosis.

Hey. I am making a surgery on my knee tomorrow. I have to go into narcosis before they do the surgery. Looking for a cool experiment i can try while falling asleep.

Could this be like a Wild on super easy mode?

Leave any COOL suggestions to what i can try

I had a minor surgery today, and tried to force myself into a WILD... I'm pretty experienced with WILD, but this seemed impossible to me. There is no transition here; one moment you're awake, and then the next moment you're waking up from the surgery. It's bam, lights out. Good luck though haha.

I would be interested to know what state do you fall in after sedatives... For example if you hadn't much rem sleep night defore, would you experience rem rebound? I like to see EEG after

I'm not sure, but I can say for sure that the prescription pain meds they gave me (hydrocodone/acetaminophen aka Vicodin) gave me back-to-back lucid dreams via WBTB. I would sleep all day, but still wake up SO tired, that the instant I started falling asleep, my brain went into WILD (I WILD pretty much every single time I wake up and fall back to sleep) so this could be something you try- IF AND ONLY IF your doctor prescribed you medication and you take it accordingly!!!

I too am curious about what brainwave state occurs during sedation. I'm sure a quick Google search would reveal the mystery, but I can't be arsed at the moment.

When I had my wisdom teeth out, I had laughing gas and got put out. I didn't attempt any WILD or anything, but I did have this weird dream. Maybe it wasn't a dream? I don't know, but from 1st person I was seeing around my dentist room. The nurse was sitting in her chair watching me, and I didn't see anyone in front of me. I know people have "woken up" during surgery, and seen/heard all their surroundings. Except then I actually woke up, and I thought I had been dreaming since my surroundings in the actual room differed some from what I saw before. So perhaps dreaming while under sedatives is possible, but getting to lucid dreaming seems more of a challenge.

I feel like sedation is supposed to move you from waking consciousness to sleep/unconsciousness as soon as possible so trying to move immediately into a dreamstate might not work too well. Wouldn't the type of sedative and its affects upon the brain matter as well? I don't think it would be moving into REM since it isn't normal sleep, so I think there are various factors to take into consideration. How do sleep brainwave patterns vary from brainwaves under sedation? That sort of thing.

Edit: I should also note that I had the usual "blackout" between being awake and falling asleep. I wasn't conscious of entering the dreamstate or even a sleep state, I just was fading out/feeling light headed and then next thing I perceived was this weird dream thing.

So you are willing to risk being awake through the entire procedure and the pain that might entail? Although you might be awake and there is no pain at all too. I imagine you would get an OBE, especially if they put you under anesthesia along with narcosis.
