What are possible meanings for dreams of comas?

Dreaming about being in a coma can symbolize being “dead to the world,” or dead inside.

It can be a way of saying you have been withdrawn or out of circulation.

It can have similar symbolism to waking up after a long sleep. See: Sleeping, Waking

For example, a mother of a young child dreams she awakens from a coma at a hospital. She looks and feels the way she did before having a baby. The dream reflects the fact that her baby had grown more self-sufficient, freeing mom to have more time for other things. For many months, she only had time to care for her newborn. Waking from a coma means she feels renewed.

Coma can mean out of touch, lines of communication are shut down, a person is distant or unresponsive. For example, you dream about a friend being in a coma, and it means you aren’t reaching the person on an emotional or personal level. The person is alive in the physical sense but unresponsive in the deeper sense. See: Zombies

Awakening from a coma is a great metaphor for becoming alive inside, or coming out of a depression, personal funk, or time of withdrawal.

For example, a young man dreams he’s been in a coma for a year and recently awakened. He goes on Facebook and reads the conversations his friends had about him while he was “out of it.” It’s a way of saying he recently came out of a year-long funk, withdrawn from friends, and started being social again.

Coming out of coma can symbolize a spiritual awakening.

Couldn't tell if I was dreaming?...Indistinguishable from reality? What does this mean?

I will start off by saying that I get 9 hours of sleep every night I haven't been doing many drugs. I've smoked week in the past month maybe once. Generally don't have a issue falling asleep or going to bed. Also sorry for the long post.

I recently had this very surreal dream experience. I was on vacation with a bunch of people who I think were my friends in what appeared to be tropical possibly Indonesia or Vietnam? We got off the plane drove to where we were staying near the water. I remember it being cloudy and having great conversations over dinners, driving to the beach in a open top jeep. Everyone who I was with was older than me (I'm 24) 50-60.

When I went back to my room that night I was very lonely and started to feel a little bit manic because I was drunk. I ripped everything out of my suitcase because I couldn't find my toothbrush. Suddenly I had this urge to escape the dream and realized this was not reality and I was asleep. But when I tried to escape, I couldn't. I don't know what came over me. I just couldn't wake up. I was on the verge of accepting that this was my new reality and I possibly had been in a coma for most of my life. I tried one last time and woke up VIOLENTLY.

I am still in shock, I can't tell if this is because I was really tired and I lucid dreamed?? But I had never had a dream so CRYSTAL clear... like.. I don't think I could've told the difference between this world and my dream world.

Before this I had been meditating and trying to do shadow work to release some tension I've had in my life. I recently have been trying to learn tarot as well. I don't know if this was a message or even how to interpret this because of its life like nature. Has anyone experienced something similar? Or have a reasoning behind this? Thanks!

Longing for an imaginary family?

Last night I experienced an usual “sleep paralysis” episode. Sleep paralysis is very common for me, as it probably happens once a week, but last night it was different. Normally, I’ll see where I actually am during my sleep paralysis episodes, but last night I was in a completely different place. I was “awoken” to find someone sitting on a couch by me. He got extremely excited and said, “hey, you’re finally awake. Let me go tell everyone.”, then he left and came back with several people that were all so happy that I was awake. I had no idea what was going on and none of the faces were familiar. I noticed I was having trouble breathing and one of the gentlemen informed me that I had been shot in the lung and I had been in a coma for several months. He told me my family would be so happy to know I was finally awake. I had an unusual longing for my husband and children and I could see their faces. As he lead me to see my family, I woke up. I finally got back to sleep, but I woke up this morning feeling like I was missing something from my life.
A little back story about myself:
I’m 23, not married and no kids. (I have a boyfriend, but he wasn’t who I saw in my dream). I have experienced sleep paralysis my entire life, to the point I’ve learned to identify when I’m dreaming and calm myself until I wake up.
Does anyone have any interpretations for this?

I had a sad dream this morning

I had a dream that i could see the spirits of suicidal people. I was in a coma in a hospital and i was wanting to commit suicide because i felt i was being a huge burden to my family. I was practicing jumping out of a window of an old mans room right next to mine, i could also see the old man’s spirit who was also in a coma, his spirit was planning on taking a knife and slittin his neck. His son was in the room, apparently he could see spirits because he smiled at me. The old man said “he likes to become friends with the ghosts” at some point i became bored of practicing my jump, so i wandered out into the street. I saw more spirits, i saw Marylin Monroe (super random) and she was crying outside of a bar. I wandered into the mall where a family was going up the escalator. I saw a man look through me and do a double take and say “Grandma?” I immediately felt very sad because i could feel his grandma behind me and i knew she had committed suicide too. The dream ended suddenly but i woke up in tears because when i was practicing jumping out of the window i would begin humming my daughter’s favorite song. And it just brings tears to my eyes to even think of leaving her behind

I feel into a year and a half coma

I had a dream to where I fell into a year and I half coma and when I woke up I had to slowly readjust to life slowly, the dream was really damn realistic as in the dream it was mid-fall in October and there was no dream bullshit it felt like real life. Even when I opened Instagram in my dream it felt real besides some of the names being slightly different. A few things that were wrong in the dream is that in the dream I was a Highschool Sophmore and not a Highschool Senior and how my school was a combination of my old school and a skyscraper. Also I noticed that I was fairly non existent in the dream because during the dream it seemed like everyone just forgot I even existed and moved on with life, even when I came back. Still sitting here wondering an hour later about that dream.
