If Beverly had sedated Jean Luc during Sarek, or if a meld were initiated on an already unconscious person? Is this ever touched on in universe or extended universe?

The only instance of a meld while unconscious I can think of is Spock offloading his katra into McCoy before sacrificing himself in STII. Whether or not that’s an actual mind meld is anyone’s guess. It could indicate though that both sides need to be sufficiently lucid for the mutual link to be established. So it’s possible to mind meld with somebody who is passed out but you don’t get two-way exchange out of it. So it’s useless unless all you want to do is store your soul in somebody else.
I have a feeling Tuvok may have melded with an unconscious person. A meld was always his plan A.
