People of all ages have described dreams during anesthesia. Most studies about dreams during anesthesia suggest that the dreams are usually not about things that are happening during the surgery and are usually not unpleasant or that different from dreams during non-anesthetic sleep. If the memories are upsetting, they should not be dismissed.
