Shock therapy

I was just curious: was anyone here forced to undergo shock therapy? From what I know, they put you asleep before the treatment. So what dreams did you see during that sleep? Were you dreaming of monsters trying to eat you alive? If so, were you able to successfully fight these monsters? If not, that dream were pretty telling: you failed to fight the ultimate brain damage caused by ECT!

I remember ECT being done but mine was just a shambles of ###$ of psychiatry at an abusive mentatl health hospital...I had a bad reaction to acuphase injection that made my face arms and then tongue contort down my windpipe they put a tube down my nexk and gave me a shot of sopmethingand I passed out...so I remember [this is like 10years ago} them cutting my shirt off and all sorts to resusitate me and a nurse said he could detect a weak puls and the other thought I was dead...vaguelly aware which brings me to the ECT...while I was under they put a mouthguard in and did ECT from what I remember...I wqs passed out at the time..no reports of allergic reaction and nearly dieing on my discahrge reports from the hospital. the ECT again is just stupid...I didn't even need the accuphase other then sociopathic nurses wanting to rape my unconschious body....I could remember it all leading up toa crisis after 6years without any psychiatric help and back on a cTO and they didn't take note of the fact I had been having truamatic memories and the hospital memory wasa traumatic and I didn't want to be subject to that again so I was paranoid and they used my hypervigalence to suggest I should comply with treamtnet to prevent them having to get security and injected most times in hopeital I push for the recovery naturally is best and I will recover just need some time out from stress

but think I would block out what the pain and everything, its hard to remember pain but the experience of the ECT itself would be blocked out although might be silently traumatised by this aswell if I really was partially conscious at the time enough to be able to remember this kind of stuff

Yeah but the one question you still didn't answer is: did you see any DREAMS when you were asleep during ECT? What kind of dream did you see?

I doubt the brain would work normal enough during ect to have dreams during the shock...it would wipe out normal consciousness.
