As a compliment to the thread about near death experiences I’d really like hearing people’s experiences of losing consciousness under general anesthesia and what’s it like coming back.

Also interested of things anesthetists may have noticed about this during their career.

      “I think therefore I am” … does that also mean “I thought therefore I was”? or something like that?

      No, theoretically your whole memory could be an illusion.

      Now assume I’m the oracle.

      Time is the passage of the story that you are/exist in.

      In some more general sense, the universe doesn’t so much exist as a physical, real world, but as a story, dream or thought. In that story, you move forward like water flows in a river. That way you experience the passage of time. The landscape already exists, only you get to see it bit by bit. You’re welcome.
