Duno about a coma... I got concussed once, dont remember most of the day... its kinda creepy feeling actually, losing memories like that, in this place, im kinda gettin used to it on the other side. |

If you have ever been in a coma, do you dream? And if you were a Lucid Dreamer and you were in a coma, do you think that you could go Lucid and wake yourself up? Or would you just have to go and and walk around in a dreamworld for weeks possibly months? |

Impossible is only that which has yet to be imagined
I always had this notion that I'm in a coma right now, And one day I'll wake up, and the entire life i've lived will be nothing more than my brain making up a world for me. |

You don't dream when in a coma since your brain activity in the cortex is reduced. |

That would be kinda freaky Rtex that you are in a coma and you wake up and your whole life has been a fake, kinda like the matrix in a way. But that means if your in a coma right now and your mind is making all this up that means I'm not real. And I'm pretty sure I'm real. |

Up to one in three people who recover claim to retain some memory of their time in coma. Their accounts depict a spectrum of experiences ranging from an absolute void to partial awareness within overall unconsciousness, much like dreaming during deep sleep. |

they have ideas, they see connections to certain things like brain wave activity and whether or not one is dreaming, in the lucid dreaming experiments they have run, people were dreaming and lucidly and they recorded brain activity and stuff... but brain wave activity and fMRI images are a generalization and can never pinpoint what an actual thought is, the same region of the brain lights up with different thoughts at times... But yeah they do know next to nothing about how it really works and what we really are. |

I always kind of wondered this exact thing..its very interesting. |

I think I may have been in a coma once. I wasn't admitted to hospital but my friends(?!) thought I was dead. If this ever happens to your friend, for whatever reason, please call an ambulance! |

I didn't really want to get into a debate about it. I was out for hours, stone cold, I stopped breathing or was breathing so faintly it was not noticeable. I have fainted before. I didn't faint on that occasion. It didn't just happen, there were external causes. Whatever happened I'm not proud of it, I posted it out of interest. If it wasn't a coma its the closest I've been to a coma. Call it what you will. |

Anyone seen the Nickelodeon TV series "The Odyssey"? It's about a boy who goes into a coma and ends up in a different (possibly dream) world full of kids. I liked watching it, when I was about 11. |

This theory was called solipsism and it was Descartes who pioneered it. As he famously said "Cogito Ergo Sum" translated to "I think therefore I am". I like Nine Inch Nails explanation better "what if everything around you, isn't quite as it seems, what if all the world you think you know is an elaborate dream." |

You do dream while in a coma. If you remember the dream is another question. But I do know someone who was in a car accident and was put into a coma. He said he had a dream that lasted the whole time he was unconscience. He went to the San Jose zoo with his family and learned ACTUAL facts from zoo keepers while sleeping. So maybe while in a coma your in a more advanced form of dream? |

He is right. |

Neko, never trust Yahoo answers. Your source isn't credible. For one, the spelling, but for two a 'source' who's a doctor in germany. I don't think it's very likely that this doctor is specialized on dream research and up-to-date. NonREM dreams do exist, dreaming isn't relying that much on your brainwaves... |
