WILD during anaesthesia?

[Replicon]

Here's a theoretical question (i'm not thinking of trying it or anything, just curious): Suppose you go to the dentist for wisdom tooth removal, sometime in the morning... and suppose they administer full anaesthesia (like, the kind that puts you under)... If you're REALLY good at focusing the mind... can you WILD? haha! I would guess no, since I don't think you're going to follow normal sleep patterns (thinking it's more of a controlled coma), plus you're not getting normal room temperature air. But I have no idea about what happens to you during that. But during a long procedure, wouldn't it be cool to get trapped into a 4 hour long LD? hehe... one from which you couldn't wake up even if you wanted to? But anyway, I'm sure it's not possible...

Actually, that stuff works so well, that the moment you go under is the EXACT moment you wake up. It is as though no TIME at all transpired. One moment you are counting down from one hundred (you won't get below 96... no one ever gets below 96), and the next moment they are removing cotton spacers from your mouth. You'll be asking when they are going to start, and they'll be telling you that the procdure is already finished. That stuff was designed especially for knocking out consciousness. No, there won't be any easy way of fooling that stuff.

Ok, I thought so, was just curious about the what-if hehe. When I went under, it didn't feel like I closed my eyes and had cotton swabs... Like, my body knew that several hours had passed and everything... I didn't recall any dreams, but it just felt like a long, relaxing nap (which is what it was, really). So I felt very refreshed.

Dude that is a bad ass idea.

i'm guessing there are better drugs for this purpose than aneathetics. not sure what they are, perhaps salvia divinorum? anyone have any suggestions?

the odds that it does'nt work are 10000/1 i think and i've watched a program in which people go through a operation supposedly under anaethesiaia, but infact are not!, they cant crontrol there body, they cant move there muscels but they feel all the pain of there insides getting ripped out or whatever the opperation is....(mind the language) a FUCKING nightmare! imagine not being able to move or say stop im in pain and say this doctor is cutting you open for 2 hours and you feel everybit of it. Lucid during anaethesiaia NO CHANCE!

If he says count down from 100, you expect it to take a few minutes, so it catches you by surprise. It's an act of subterfuge, and probably makes the transition more comfortable. Kinda like if I tell some kid I'll rip off the band-aid on the count of three... I might do it on two hehe.

i think they just want to know when you are really out of it. maybe people can count from 1 to 10 in their sleep. counting down from 100 takes a little more conscious focus. last time i had surgery, they didn't ask me to count, but i did ask them to give me warning. i heard the aneastheologoist saying she'd just done it, and around 5 subjective seconds later, i'm back in my room, trying to stop the world spinning (always a wonderful vertical roll). i was under for approx 6 hours. i'm always totally amazed by aneasthetic, the whole dreamless/timeless/gapless nature of it. i fainted once, and had the exact same experience. one second i was having a shower and started feeling woozy, the next second the scene changed and i struggled for a bit to figure out what i was looking at - it was the ceiling.
