Do people dream when they're in comas

Their brains don't just stop, so there has to be something going on in there, right?

Maybe. Many peole who are in comas often still show brain activity so there very well could be a dream going on in there but we wont know unless that person wakes up and can still remember having the dream, which I don't think happens too often. I don't know much about this so I did a bit of searching online and found that many people say they had dreams or visions but others say they don't remember anything. I think it depends on the length of the coma and maybe the person, I am not too sure.

oh cool. So it all might just depend on how much the person has learned to be conscious while dreaming. I've been training in lucid dreaming. you should look it up, you know, so if you slip into a coma you have something to do

hello, Yes, I think so because they are still sleeping in that kind of matter but I am not sure about it because I am not a doctor or what. ha ha but maybe they do because the brain is not stopping to function.

yeah, or maybe it's like when you sleep but don't remember a bit of what you dreamed
