What makes one see things right as they wake up? Is this a leftover from one's dream, caused by not entirely waking up, or a different matter entirely?

I am nearsighted but corrected, have hardly any accommodation capability, and have been told I have incipient cataracts. The optometrist says my retinas are fine. Over the past couple of years I have noticed a strange phenomenon: my corrected vision is pretty good at night and at light levels comparable to the optometrist's eye chart, but in bright light it gets blurry. I don't think it's because of cataracts (I don't notice any fogging) but it could be due to an asphericity of the lens or of the eyeball surface, which could cause the average focal length to change as the iris opening changes between wide and narrow. So my question is, would a lens replacement (the recommended remedy for the cataracts) fix the focus problem, or is eyeball surface asphericity a possible cause? Do cataracts change the lens shape? Are there other possible causes given that the retinas are healthy?

I was watching a movie last night, the main character was about to inject drug into arm. First he hit his arm a few times there, then pumped his arm a few times. I understand pumping the arm to increase the vein size, but why hit it?

When I was 18 I was in a car accident and had a grand maul seisure... this is caused by blunt trauma to the head, breaking a blood vessel inside your brain which causes pressure to the brain and can cause death. I remember having the seisure and seeing flashing red and blue spots then nothing else for about 4 days. I was told once I came to that I had actually quit breathing and my heartrate couldn't be found at the accident scene. Has anyone else died and been resuccitated? if so what did you experience? Do you feel like you're living on borrowed time?

I want to become a doctor, but i also want to have a family. I just finished my first degree and want to apply to be a doc for next year, however do you think its possible to be a house officer or a first year resident and also raise a child? Or do you think i'd have to wait until after consultancy?

Also how easy it to become a consultant? After you pass the exams as a senior registrar are you automatically a consultant?

Also does anyone know which fields are better for those who want a family?

thanks

(anyone, especially doctors can answer)
I used to think i wanted to be a doctor, and it helps that i have parents who supported me. But I realized that even the brightest people in college would fail in some subjects including me, and that did a lot for my self esteem, its like a blow. i told myself when i reached the fourth year, everything would be different, cause its only one more year to go. But alas, i was wrong..since you are now hands on in the hospital, you now have an idea of what kind of career you will now have. lacking sleep, your patience is tested, humility is required of you because patients can really be annoying if they complain about something; yet you think you are already exerting much effort, and it doesn't help that your seniors, like residents, give you a hard time, and you are expected to follow them and give in to their whim. I realized I don't enjoy it at all. Cause after so many years of studying, this is the kind of treatment I will get? And so I QUIT!
