1. They do not just sleep the entire time. Naah, they like to be creepier than that. A lot of times, their eye's will open, they might even look around or stare at certain people. Sometimes, they'll even move when asked, but can't even remember it once they're conscious.
2. They dream...a lot. One girl could have bet money on the fact that she was in Alaska, trudging up a mountain to save the glorious pine tree trophy. The dreams are so vivid, and so lifelike, once they wake up, the coma patient will have trouble distinguishing what's real and what's not. That leads me to the next thing...
3. Their dreams or ramblings usually make no sense. You usually can't distinguish what they are saying, and once you do, you might get tired of 'em pretty quick.
4. Sometimes, they're under the delusion that someone died. If they can realize that something happened to them, they might think that close ones or family members were hurt somehow too.
5. You should know the Glasgow Coma Scale. That's right!
This, my friends, is a Glasgow coma scale. This is how coma patients are rated. So if you're writing a character with a coma, you might want to pick their symptoms off this list.6. And finallyyyy....every coma patient is different. Every patient takes their own time to heal, whether it be a week, or two years. For your books, I'm assuming it won't be longer than a year, but if you need it...

Ciao for now!
