I must admit I don't know. I've never known anyone in a coma, and I haven't done any research. My theory, though, is that they probably dream a lot. I know that some people in a coma experience being awake, but unable to move any part of their body or communicate. Which sounds like the most horrible thing in the world.

In the Monroe system of Focus levels, Bob said that people in comas are on Focus 22, just outside the physical levels, as well  as those in deep sedation (alcohol or drugs) and under anesthesia.

I used to find my partner Janice in these areas (before she passed over entirely) when she had been heavily medicated with pain meds, waiting to go farther dan explore where she was off to next. Now I find her out beyond The Park and Focus 27, out around 36.....

I certainly do not want to become the spokesperson for Monroe, though I can see why people might see that...

I have spent some time examining the nature of the whatever-it-is that separates the various levels for me. It is not a membrane, really, but there is some sort of barrier, at least in the levels closest to physical, waking consciousness (again, for me). At the levels less close to waking consciousness, even those subtle energetic barriers seem to be less distinct, and it is like tuning a old radio to a particular station.

So to finally answer, I find there is a lot out there at levels beyond 27, and not just at the elevator stops Monroe describes/ed like Focus levels 27, 34/35 ("The Gathering"), Focus 42 (the I-There cluster) and Focus 49 (The Aperture". Neither Monroe nor Bruce ever wrote much about these levels, but there they are.... as vast (perhaps moreso) as The Park level, which TMI calls Focus 27.

When Columbus arrived, the East Indians could not see his ships floating in the harbor. Literally, COULD NOT. But there they were.... And of course back then we used to think the world was flat, and that Earth was the center of the Universe. Perhaps beliefs we have now will someday seem as foolish as these do now; it is my hope.

I am not the only one out there exploring these areas, but I do not see as many as I do at The Park. Not yet.

Again, please forgive the Monroe speak. It is only one construct which attempts to make sense out of experiences which clear rooms at parties..... Thanks, Bruce, for this safe space!

In my experience they are orb-like unless I look for details like arms and legs and clothing. Most seem to have what I would describe as a loose robe or clothing like surgical scrubs on, in various colors and textures. What do they wear when you see them?
