Does Cryogenic sleep scare the shit out of anyone else? Imagine being frozen as you are alive for hundreds of years.

What would even happen if it was a viable thing? Would dreams last years? Decades?

You go under and experience a dreamless sleep.
If your brain could still function it would be operating and susceptible to the very things cryogenics seeks to solve.
You either wake up years later or never wake.

Some people know they are going to die

first of all, those fucking quads are well checked.

Secondly, it would be dreamless, since the whole point of cryogenic sleep is to literally suspend everything about you, including your brain.

You'd just go out like a light in 2015, and instantly wake up in 3029 as if no time passed at all.

that said, time in dreams doesnt pass as it does in reality, so who knows. Surely you've had those dreams where it feels like the story went on for AGES, when in reality, you only slept like 6 hours. so maybe it would feel like eternity, maybe it wouldnt.

maybe youd dream long enough to become lucid. in which case you could do whatever you really wanted to pass the time.

But do they know they died? There's a difference

No.
