It's so funny you mention TV. My memories are aweful. I woke up from the coma thinking I killed a 13 year old girl in a drunk driving accident. My dreams are me being in this jail where they wanted to kill me. In my mind there was this guy talking to me through the TV. He was on Chopped and Guys Grocery Games. Lol. I know it sound crazy but he belittled me and at the same time I feel like he pushed me to survive. I saw 3 people whom I was close with who had died previously. 2 tragically. All 3 had the same message for me. "You need to go back to see your girls" I have a wife and 2 daughters. What is crazy is it is all so clear and I remember everything. I have various memories that I dont know if they really happened or were hallucinations. I was not allowed to have any visitors. I would love to talk to some of the nurses just to ask them things. I am a strong person and consider myself a tough person but these visions scare me.

This is fascinating. Thanks for sharing some of your “dreams”.

I, too, had a weird dream involving a TV show. I was on Myth Busters and had to experiment with the traps James Bond set up in his former home in the movie Skyfall. Really??? Where did my brain come up with this stuff!

I don’t have children, but I have two black labradors. I had a dream that the older one was barking at me and telling me to come back to her because we had things to do. I honestly think she helped save my life.

I wonder if these sort of dreams or hallucinations are very common???

It would be really nice if you could talk to some of the nurses that cared for you.
