Apr 14, 2014 at 4:09 comment added Shmuel Since this question seems to be addressing a state of unconsciousness, perhaps it could be rephrased and generalized to all unconsciousness, including sleep? (The state of the soul during sleep has been addressed in tradition, but as written, I doubt this question will get any answers.)
Mar 21, 2013 at 19:47 comment added user2088 @Monica Cellio: I've been knocked out once in a bar scuffle. No injuries or anything. Don't even know how I got knocked out. That's the thing. Both a KO (which causes a concussion) and general anesthesia produce amnesia. You don't remember anything immediately prior to each event nor anything that occurs during that period. You will remember the time briefly before that, but nothing during. Fainting is a bit different depending on severity of hypoperfusion or hypoxia. I don't think anyone can conclusively say what is happening with the soul during that time.

Mar 20, 2013 at 21:52 comment added Derfder I don't have been, just local anesthesia when visiting dentist a couple of times. But what I can tell you is that KO is not like sleeping or dreaming or beeing first drunk. It's simply bang and nothing, Basically the term knockout is very good and accurate. Nothingness, full stop ;)
