On the other hand my therapist and I had a disagreement last week and I shut down to the point I didn't remember the rest of the session. So there's that kind of thing too. My pdoc has never mentioned it that I remember.
After anesthesia is understandable for anyone. My nephew is a surgical assistant and he says people say and do everything imaginable while coming out of anesthesia.

Sleepwalking itself is a form of dissociation & doing any activity while asleep is dissociation. I'm not sure about not remembering the rest of your session, but it sounds like you may have dissociated in order to protect yourself.
