I was slapped up with three different drugs -- litocane which is a local anethetic so that I could not feel my face or lips for 8 hours and spill water all over myself trying to drink like a retard, sodium penthonal which is truth sereum and made me happy and relaxed, and finally the general anethstic which name exscapes me. As soon as that hit my body not only could nerouns in my spinal column no longer react to pain by throwing my musceles into a spasm, but my brain's neurons could no longer form memories. As soon as the drug took effect, I lost conciousness and dreamt about something that I cannot remember.
I could only imagine how horrible it would be without these modern convences for dental work. Think Castaway. No drugs at all, a big rock and a ice-skate. Ouch.
Interestingly I had a vivid dream when I got home on the couch. It was like I was in a multiplayer game that I describe as Blast the Messiah. You start out in my old neighborhood where I grew up. One starting location was Mike's house and the other was Logan's. From there you run out into the street to jump in the camper van and then you are off to the pool. All the way along the ride one of the players is slowly transforming and you are trying to blast him away before he actually becomes the messiah. If you don't get him in the RV then it gets progressively harder once he gets to the pool, because he gets stronger with the water. Eventually he transforms fully and then you lose, unless of course you are the messiah :)
