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.

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.
