i think memories recede a bit with time. my past experiences seem... dreamlike now. i wouldn't have a hope in separating out dreaming from waking from delusion from reality...
there was something... they thought it was an anasthetic. i forget what it is called... they used it as an anasthetic anyway. and some of the patients, upon waking, said that they could hear what was going on in the operating theatre... i think they may have even said that they were suffering horrible horrible pain... but they were paralyzed.
and of course the docs told them not to be silly or somesuch.
until (fairly sure i'm remembering this correctly) a doctor needed surgery and when he said that it paralyzed him rather than anesthetising him... they believed him.
power, eh.
