Would we dream at all without External Stimuli ???. A strange question I know, but a friend of mine was in a car accident and was in a coma for a few weeks. I never got around to asking him if he dreamt or not.

OH great Question! I belive we would still dream if we were temporaily cut off fomr extrenal stimuli. We already know that when people are sensory deprived, they tend to hallcuinate after a while. Dream would be the same thing,. The dreams would become crazy and just nizzare, as the mind is trying so hard to make stimuli for us. Thats my oppion anyways.
but would they rember there dreams even if they did dream in a coma
i kind of forgot to make a post about this. I've wanted to question people who've been in a coma about if they dreamed and remembered them and if the dreams differed and such.
I'm pleased to say this is the first topic I've been able to be helpful in. Congratulations will be taken, thanks.
See, several years ago, I was in a brief coma for nine days after a car accident. To tell the honest truth, I remember almost nothing of it. I have a hazy sort of memory of a dream in which all these people stood around something, talking, and I was watching them from above, and I couldn't get close enough to see, and I couldn't hear what they were saying, but I somehow knew that somebody had died.
The problem is, I don't know if I dreamt this during the coma, or in a period after I reportedly woke up and then slept again, but don't remember waking. So, I suppose it isn't really all that helpful. But it's better than nothing, right?
