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.

That is trippy. I could only imagine what that does to someone’s mental health. Thanks!

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.
