Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Incidence of dreaming during anaesthesia as evidence by self-report[At an immediate postoperative interview]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Times to eye open[After cessation of anaesthetic administration, patients may first spontaneously open their eyes while they are still on the operating theatre or may not open their eyes until they are in the recovery room. Whenever the patient first opens their eyes, this will be recorded. This endpoint only happens once.];Orientation and recovery room discharge[Every 2 min after the patient opens their eyes they are assessed for orientation to time place and person. This endpoint will be recorded once only, on the first occasion that the patient is orientated. The time of recovery room discharge will be recorded once, when the patient leaves the recovery room.];EEG variables during maintenance of anaesthesia and during recovery.[Continuously during maintenance and recovery (data points every 1 min)]
