Is it normal on how being unconcious feels

Whenever I wake up from unconciousness I see a rapid succession of images and hear loud sounds. I can not really remember what exactly I see or hear, but I know it is specific things, not just colors. I always wondered if it is like that for everyone.

    Maybe something lingers from dreams?

    Do you have epilepsy? Or do you mean sleep?

    I mean we all go unconscious during sleep that's just how it works for complex organisms we need to sleep to recharge and repair.

    I've never experienced that before. I knew that the vivid imagery and other imagined sensations on falling asleep are called hypnagogic hallucinations, but the Wikipedia article on that mentions the reverse: the state between sleep and waking is called hypnopompic, and it seems that something similar can happen then. From the article:

    "When the awakening occurs out of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, in which most dreams occur, the hypnopompic state is sometimes accompanied by lingering vivid imagery. Some of the creative insights attributed to dreams actually happen in this moment of awakening from REM."

    I honestly don't know. I have had to be unconscious for a couple of procedures in the past, and it's kinda just like waking up to me really.

    Not for me in the past but it sounds plausible.
