When I woke up from having my wisdom teeth out, I had crazy and terrifying hallucinations all the way home. While we were parked waiting for something, I saw someone run up, press their face against my window, and scream my name while slamming their fists on the window. I closed my eyes and curled up into a ball, and I was instantly in some sort of cave system underground that was rapidly collapsing and burying me alive. I don't remember much else but my mom said I was freaking out the whole way home.

I'm terrified of anesthesia now and I have yet to find any explanation for what happened to me.

That’s unusual, if you need anesthesia again you should definitely tell them about your previous experience. They might be able to switch drugs or use a lighter dose that still gives you amnesia about the operation without having a bunch of terrifying side effects.
