Man Lives Out Dream Relationship Only To Find Out He Was Unconscious the Whole Time

by Edmund

No one knows what happens to you when you pass away.

The closest people get to knowing is when they have near death experiences and even then what some of them go to are completely different. Some come through it the same as they were beforehand and others claim to have experienced something that will change them for a long time.

One man on Reddit had one of these near death experiences after he was assaulted at college. He experienced a whole other life for what to him felt like 10 years. The following story in the screenshot is raw and personal.

The story

In the following screenshots, a Reddit user retells a story about a near death experience he had whilst in college. He says that he became unconscious and whilst in said state experienced a whole other life with 10 years worth of experiences. In this 10 year span he got married and had children. It eventually became apparent to him that things in this existence did not add up. Following this he came to again and was rushed to the hospital.

This experience was so personal and raw that it took 3 years for this guy to get over what he experienced.

The user further stated that hs does not wish to talk about this further or do an AMA although he is ok with anyone taking the story and reusing it in various media.

The story

“Throw away account cause this is really personal.

My last semester at a certain college I was assaulted by a football player for walking where he was trying to drive (note he was 325lbs I was 120lbs), while unconscious on the ground I lived a different life.

I met a wonderful young lady, she made my heart skip and my face red, I pursued her for months and dispatched a few jerk boyfriends before I finally won her over, after two years we got married and almost immediately she bore me a daughter.

I had a great job and my wife didn’t have to work outside of the house when my daughter was two she [my wife] bore me a son. My son was the joy of my life, I would walk into his room every morning before I left for work and doted on him and my daughter.

One day while sitting on the couch I noticed that the perspective of the lamp was odd, like inverted. It was still in 3D but… just… wrong. (It was a square lamp base, red with gold trim on 4 legs and a white square shade). I was transfixed, I couldn’t look away from it. I stayed up all night staring at it, the next morning I didn’t go to work, something was just not right about that lamp.

I stopped eating, I left the couch only to use the bathroom at first, soon I stopped that too as I wasn’t eating or drinking. I stared at the lamp for 3 days before my wife got really worried, she had someone come and try to talk to me, by this time my cognizance was breaking up and my wife was freaking out. She took the kids to her mother’s house just before I had my epiphany…. the lamp is not real…. the house is not real, my wife, my kids… none of that is real… the last 10 years of my life are not real!

via GIPHY

The lamp started to grow wider and deeper, it was still inverted dimensions, it took up my entire perspective and all I could see was red, I heard voices, screams, all kinds of weird noises and I became aware of pain…. a s**t ton of pain… the first words I said were “I’m missing teeth” and opened my eyes. I was laying on my back on the sidewalk surrounded by people that I didn’t know, lots were freaking out, I was completely confused.

at some point a cop scooped me up, dragged/walked me across the sidewalk and grass and threw me face down in the back of a cop car, I was still confused.

I was taken to the hospital by the cop (seems he didn’t want to wait for the ambulance to arrive) and give CT scans and s**t..


via GIPHY

I went through about 3 years of horrid depression, I was grieving the loss of my wife and children and dealing with the knowledge that they never existed, I was scared that I was going insane as I would cry myself to sleep hoping I would see her in my dreams. I never have, but sometimes I see my son, usually just a glimpse out of my peripheral vision, he is perpetually 5 years old and I can never hear what he says.

EDIT (24 hours after post): never thought anyone would read this, I changed a line so that it no longer seems that my 2-year-old daughter bore a child.

I have never seen Inception or the Star Trek episode so many have mentioned (but I will eventually)

I will not do an AMA

I’ve had many PM’s describing similar experiences and 3 posters stating such experiences are impossible, I’d say more research needs to be done on brain functions. Pre-med students, don’t assume you know everything.

A few have asked if they can write a book/screenplay/stage play/rage comic etcetera, please consider this tale open source and have fun with it”.

Here's hoping that the user is ok and is not still badly hurt from this loss.
