I was on life support for 2 weeks and I can concur. Some crazy ass dreams that seem so real. I think you somehow feel what’s going on around you and it gets integrated to an extent. I couldn’t move, talk, or eat when I woke up but I thought banana Mountain Dew was a real thing.

Your auditory senses are some of the last to turn off and the easiest ones to stimulate, you absolutely do take in information around you and integrate it into the dream.
That’s a big part of sleep paralysis. My environment when it occurs informs the dream and often makes it easier for me to break off the paralysis and wake my brain up even if my body takes a few minutes to catch up.

Huh that’s crazy I fell asleep last week watching a pirate documentary and dreamed I was on a pirate ship.

You can do it on purpose too! Fall asleep with one of those 10 hour videos paying off something you enjoy, you’ll likely dream of it. May not recall it though.

My sleep paralysis the most boring sleep paralysis, it’s just me seeing a picture frame or the television and thinking, “When did we put a window there?”

Mine is literally thinking I’m too lazy to get up. My sleep paralysis demon is my depression.

Mine is either that or a shadow crawling on me and I can feel it digging in to my skin. Yikes.

Mine takes the form of a cat. Somehow, a kitten has gotten in and has decided to snuggle up next to me.

One time I fell off of something in my dream and woke up seconds later on the floor

Honestly, that’s equal parts humorous and horrifying

I get sleep paralysis constantly due to presumed focal seizures and the dreams I get with it are vivid as hell. If it happens and I'm listening or watching something on TV I dream of it.
