Dreaming under anaesthesia was investigated in a prospective study of 120 day case paediatric patients, aged 5-17 years, who underwent a variety of surgical procedures. Patients were anaesthetised using the 'Liverpool technique' of paediatric anaesthesia (nitrous oxide-oxygen-relaxant). No patient reported awareness, but 23 of 120 patients (19%) reported dreams. Analysis of the data revealed that the choice of muscle relaxant, (nondepolarising or depolarising) had a statistically significant effect on the incidence of dreaming (p less than 0.05). It is suggested that the technique of intermittent intravenous suxamethonium may result in increased muscle spindle discharge and cause cerebral arousal and an increased incidence of dreaming.
在一项针对120名年龄在5至17岁、接受各种外科手术的日间手术儿科患者的前瞻性研究中，对麻醉状态下的梦境进行了调查。患者采用“利物浦小儿麻醉技术”（氧化亚氮-氧气-松弛剂）进行麻醉。没有患者报告有术中知晓，但120名患者中有23名（19%）报告做了梦。数据分析显示，肌肉松弛剂的选择（非去极化或去极化）对做梦发生率有统计学上的显著影响（p小于0.05）。有人认为，间歇性静脉注射琥珀酰胆碱技术可能会导致肌梭放电增加，引起大脑兴奋，从而使做梦发生率增加。
