Why don’t we dream under general anesthesia?
In: Biology
If being awake is you being at your job, being asleep is your time away from your job. A lot of the time, it’s not getting to kick back and relax, it’s taking care of all the other responsibilities that you can’t address while you’re busy working. Dreaming is one of those side responsibilities.
Anesthesia is like, from the perspective of taking care of your responsibilities, going to sleep. You’re not able to really get anything done during that time, including dreaming.
