Have you ever been under general anesthesia? What was it like? Did anything strange happen? (sopuli.xyz)

As a compliment to the thread about near death experiences I'd really like hearing people's experiences of losing consciousness under general anesthesia and what's it like coming back.

Also interested of things anesthetists may have noticed about this during their career.

I remember them wheeling my bed from the staging room to go to the operating room, then waking up in recovery. No memory of ever being in the O.R. at all.

    Same here. I was in Boston and needed an emergency ram-a-stick-down-your-throatoscopy to dislodge a lump of meat after I had an allergic reaction (fuck you Applebees). Full anesthetic but I managed to count down to 0 so the anaesthetist lost the bet and I didn't give him a OnePlus One invite code.
