Not bad at all: As an observer and from experience i can say that it is very much like falling asleep at home. The key is to not fight it and just let the professionals do their job. Some people dream. Some don't. The people who do the best are the ones who feel comfortable with their care team.

Not unpleasant: In expert hands the experience can be pleasant. You should get to know your anesthesia doctor.

Peaceful: Honestly the worst part of anesthesia is getting an iv. This feels like a small pinch on the back of a hand, then all the medication to relax you and put you to sleep will go through the iv. The best technique for patients is to talk to their anesthesiologist before the operation. The best anesthetic comes from a team of the patient and the doctor.
