Those in a coma are sometimes aware of what is going on around them, can hear conversation, etc. though they cannot respond.
While my brother was in a hypoglycemic coma, he could hear me telling him to "wake up", "wake up!. He said he tried to wake up, he tried to answer me but he could not.

Speaking from experience, yes and no. The dream phase is enacted upon entering and exiting the coma when the Synaptic Neurons are almost working again . It also depends on which part of the brain is awakened or damaged during the coma. Frontal lobe is where most dreams are interpreted or realized.
I have frontal lobe damage now, it is tiny, but I rarely if ever dream now.

I have a friend who was in a coma for three days after a motorcycle wreck. He said he did not dream and that when he woke up, those three days just disappeared, he felt like it was just one second after his wreck. I am not sure id this is typical or if every coma victim has a different experience.

Most likely they do. We won't stop dreaming until we're dead.
