Are you aware in a coma

[measqu]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to this forum and I'm hoping someone can help me out with a question I have. I was wondering if anyone has experience or knowledge on the topic of being aware while in a coma. Are there any stories you know of or can share with me? How does one become aware in this state? Is there any way to communicate with someone in a coma? Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated.
