Why I Remember More During Abductions: I Wake Up Under Anathesia Too!

I came across this article and it sparked some ideas that I believe are worth exploring:

www.newscientist.com/article/dn23233-consciousness-signature-warns-of-awareness-during-surgery.html

“Anesthesia wearing off mid-operation is not just the stuff of nightmares – it occurs in around 0.2 per cent of surgeries globally. Keeping tabs on the brain during surgery could stop this. Indirect signs of consciousness such as changes in heart rate, blood pressure and muscle tone can be tracked during surgery but more reliable indicators are not currently available.“

Okay– why I think this explains WHY I remember more than most abductees… maybe my brain doesn’t cooperate fully with memory suppression.

In my adult life, I’ve had 3 surgeries requiring general anesthesia. In all 3, I woke up in the middle of things at some point. I don’t respond well to the stuff in general, as it makes me so nauseated I tend to vomit while under (which is why its good to have an empty stomach.) I have all sorts of fun warnings and such attached to my medical records because of my issues with that entire class of medications. Because I wake up while “under” they give more to me, and then I’ll stop breathing. THEN, I get woken up ON PURPOSE to start me breathing again.

When I come to while under, its amazing how much I can hear and comprehend– and my distress when I realize I’m aware during a procedure where I obviously don’t want to be aware is great. (But not as great as dealing with being awake during dental procedures… phobias are crazy like that.) I’ve figured out to moan in an obvious, staccato way to let them know I’m waking up. I actually warn the anesthesiologist ahead of time of this and agree that the grunts are my signal that I’m coming out of it.

In addition, this issue is genetic, because my father had the same problem. He always woke up for at least a few seconds at some point during surgeries. Once, he was having cataracts removed, and when he came to, he said in a sing-song voice, “I can seeeee you!” to the guy working on his eye. YIKES!

That number, 0.2 percent is a very TINY number, obviously, but apparently they’ve done enough studies to know it happens regularly for some people.

So… here’s my question: Does the way my brain responds to artificially-induced suppressed (or degraded) consciousness to anesthesia have some sort of “carry over” effect when it comes to my abduction experiences? Is that part of why I “come out of it” during many experiences (and it IS the same! it feels the same, even if I’m already awake and fully functional, my “normal consciousness” bleeds through and I find myself in the midst of aliens or in some weird set-up scenario) when most other abductees do not?

The aliens can, do, and will on rare occasions approach an abductee while the human is wide awake, and then the human will remember that approach, but forget the rest of the abduction. They can also “wake” you up temporarily to pass on a message they WANT you to remember consciously. But those are very rare instances. By far, most of my memories involve my suddenly coming out of an altered state of consciousness into my normal waking state and finding I’m in the middle of something! That’s one reason I don’t subscribe to the theory that abductions are all astral and/or psychic or mental events (any of those non-physical explanations) because I have actually come to and seen, felt, heard, and SMELLED them! They’re real, and while I can’t say ALL abductions are physical, I’m confident that a substantial number of them are indeed “real” in the nuts-and-bolts sense.

Possibly a rare brain glitch simply makes it possible for me to just remember more both under anesthesia and during abductions.

I think I’m going to approach a couple of researchers and ask them if they could ask abductees who happen to remember the way I do if THEY have issues staying under general anesthesia. That would help explain some things and maybe give us a clue as to what could be done to remember MORE for more people down the road.

She reacts and speculates about the deeper meaning behind these incidents and wonders– what is the ultimate reality or intelligence behind it all?
