@alieninsect Even light switches don't work properly in lucid dreams. It's as if the hardware was only designed to model the environment we evolved in. Who would've thought?
@drmichaellevin@StuartHameroff I was given analgesics whilst under general anaesthetic as my body was responding to pain. This concerned me as I remembered nothing of the operation and wondered it anaesthetics simply inhibit memory.
I still don't understand how we can differentiate between consciousness going away and just inhibiting the brain's ability to remember being conscious.
If woken suddenly from deep sleep we will remember dreaming but rarely otherwise despite being aware of the process whilst it is happening.
