Have you ever been under general anesthesia? What was it like? Did anything strange happen?

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.

It's not. If you don't wake up from it you'll never even know or care. So who cares?

So instead of being scared of dying, the terror comes from being dead.

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.
