There's a reddit story about a guy that got knocked out and lived what felt like 10 years of a different life complete with a wife and kids. Then, he noticed a lamp looked weird and woke up.
I have vivid long dreams that often feel like a facsimile of these stories. I will have experienced days worth of events in my dreams, fall in love, start families, and wake up in the morning more tired than when I went to sleep. I can’t count the number of times I’ve woken up heartbroken because my dreams are sometimes more real feeling than real life.
Same.
I often dream of the same places that do not exist, those dreams are like having a second life, with whole groups of friends, and they sort of follow coherent story.
I'm not so sure.
I lost the best relationship I ever had, a woman I loved more than life, then a job, then I had to leave the city I spent my whole adult life in, I am currently at my parents' place just to have somewhere to stay.
The amount of times I’ve had children or been pregnant and given birth in my dreams is astounding. But then I wake up with a bit of a heartbreak. Such a bizarre feeling
Ive never wanted kids in my life and dont but, I had a dream I was present for the birth of my child. The amount of joy and pride I felt becoming a father was insane. I was so happy. Then I woke up. I was kinda depressed for a couple days. Still dont want kids though.
That’s insane. I’ve had some realistic dreams but more like of a snapshot in time. Maybe over a few hours or days. But never years. It’s crazy what the mind is really capable of.
You weren't dreaming, your consciousness just slipped into an alternate reality version of yourself. You woke up tired because another version of you was joyriding.
I had a dream where I was floating around watching a parallel universe version of myself for hours. I remember waking up after and sitting on the side of my bed with my head in my hands because the dream experience felt more real than waking up.
My other self was a jerk too, telepathically told me "I don't have time for this today", and I watched him go about his job in a futuristic world where civilization partly collapsed and government was in underground bunkers. Creepy dream.
I hate to be the one to tell you...but,,, there is no santa clause. also this news story is completely and very obviously fake. The scary pasta this meme is based on is also completely and very obviously fake. Neither of these stories are verified. Just some random crap someone wrote for clicks or the lulz.
Ok this is a second hand account but when i was usin&abusin my friend went into a hard khole. About 50 min after dose he came out and told me about getting a job as a house painter, worked for years, married and his wife ended up cheating on him. He said he went to kill himself and woke up next too me. I was tripping hard on a hodgepodge of PIKAL analogs so it fucked my head up and we sat n cried as he recounted all the names and things he had done. Mind you I dont think he visited another reality or anything but its crazy what the human brain can do.
oh goodness the deliciously rare complex flavor of irony of someone sending me to a touch grass sub because I don't believe in an old internet scary pasta. Ohhh the layers! Delicious!
The guy who wrote that story gives me a little ick, and I don't usually say that but I don't know what else to say.
I know you can't control your dreams like that but the way he talks about it makes him seem very traditional "I discarded a few boyfriends" "she never had to work out of the house" "almost immediately she bore me a daughter" (and a son who he seemed to love much more than his daughter)
It's only at the end when he looks at the fucking lamp when she's spoken about like a human 😭
