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'm not scared of being dead, it's like before you were born, you wouldn't even know.

I'm scared of dying a slow death. Like buried alive, or with a broken body in a hospital bed. Instant death? I don't care.

Ya, I'm scared of suffocation.
