Have you ever been under general anesthesia? What was it like? Did anything strange happen?

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 actually have a story. I was very young and was under for 10 hours. It was terrible, I felt every moment, I was trapped in a video game, Link's Adventure. Just repeating over and over. This isn't a joke, the experience was so traumatizing I won't go through surgery again. This was over three decades ago. I don't know what went wrong, why I experienced the passage of time. I thought I had literally gone to Hell, it was torture.
God that sounds terrifying
Would be pretty interesting to get the opinion of an anesthesiologist on this, I'm sure they could make a different cocktail to make sure any future surgery goes well :)
