Something I've wondered is what is it like to be awake/asleep at the same time? I suspect that's what they experience, some weird middle ground where people are having nested dreams, a bit like sleep paralysis where you wake up to wake up in another dream. Being awake/asleep is something i want to voluntarily achieve, but I suspect its a nightmare zone or something akin to what schizophrenic hallucinations. Going to the primal level in regards to nightmares I think the monsters/predatory animals are there to kick our self awareness into gear, because our self awareness serves to keep us alive and encourages us to seek/invent what is beneficial to our survival. Pretty sure they still have some level of self awareness, but their vegetative state makes it hard for them to communicate to us.

And dreams do give futuresight sometimes. Whoever it is that you're talking about maybe you oughta ask them what they saw when they come out of the vegetative state. Don't assume they're gone, will it in your mind that they are here/returning and then it will happen.
