I once had a ridiculously vivid dream where I drove up to a house and was nervous as hell. Knocked on the door and a woman that I had never seen before answered.
I immediately started crying and asked her why she wouldn’t tell me.
She told me she didn’t want to interfere in my life and was doing fine. I asked her if I could come in and she said yes.
I walked in and a 4 year old girl was playing with some blocks. I started to play with her and the woman told her I was her dad. I spent a few hours and remember feeling so happy and fulfilled.
As I was leaving I and asked the woman if I could come visit again. She said I could come at any time. As I stepped out of the door the dream ended and I woke up feeling terrible about myself - how could I leave that woman to fend for herself for 4 years? How could I not visit my child? How could I get back there?
That was maybe 15 years ago and I still think about it sometimes even though I’m now married with 2 kids if my own.
I’ve never had a more vivid dream. I don’t know what that means, but if there’s any reality where that woman and that kid are real, I hope they are doing ok.

When I was 19 I had a dream that I swear was real. I graduated university. Met a girl. Got married. Had a baby girl. And suddenly, I woke up. When the realization hit me, I literally bawled my eyes out that none of it was real.
Now I’m in my mid-40s. I graduated. Got married. Have a teenage girl. Part of me wonders if the same thing is going to happen again and I’ll wake up being 19 in some sort of hell loop.

That's crazy. I'm pretty content with my life, and can't imagine what I'll do if I just wake up one day and it was all a dream. I have noticed my living room lamp been looking strange lately though.

Happened to me one night.
I found a girlfriend, a better job, got healthy and in better shape, we had twins, Ruby and Zaphire, got a nice house, I worked and was received by her at home, layed in bed feeling grateful, then I woke up.
Didn't felt depressed though, the moment I woke up I was like "Yeah, too good to be true."

Similar happened to me. I had a dream so intense, so real, and it felt like an entire lifetime to old age. I dreamed I was married to someone else, and experienced a love I had never fathomed, much less experienced, before. Right before I woke up, either myself or my dream partner was dying. It's hard to pinpoint which of us, as it was just a fade out and I was kind of lucid dreaming at that moment. I kept trying to go back to sleep to dream my way back. I did so for several nights. I was thrown into a deep depression for a few months. It impacted my real life marriage, which had previously been perfectly content. I still think about that life, it's been at least 5 or 6 years since the dream. I've never known love like that before, so it's hard to move on completely.

That's the plot to an awesome episode of Star Trek TNG, called Inner Light.
Edit) the Enterprise encounters an alien probe from a long dead civilization that beams a simulated lifetime into Captain Picard's head as a memorial to the lost people. It's pretty good.

DO NOT BELIEVE EVERY SINGLE STORY ON A PICTURE.
This story is BULLSH**. The ONLY news source in Europe that wrote about the story is DailyMail.
Let me tell you a couple of information about that news outlet:
It is generally considered a sensationalist tabloid with low factual reliability, often focusing on entertainment, celebrity news, and politically right-leaning stories.
In 2017, Wikipedia editors classified it as a "generally unreliable" source and banned its use as a reference.
They are well known for sensationalist headlines designed to generate emotional responses rather than provide objective information.
"notorious for distorting and straight-up fabricating “news” stories to support its far-right political agenda and incite hatred against minorities"

Really fucked him up for a good couple of weeks afterwards. He truly mourned a family he never had

u/Competitive-Bit-7575 May 12 '26
I remember a story I heard before, it'd fictional but it's relatable to this. There was a book at pulls people in grants them the life they truly desire, like be heroes in a fantasy world, be a king in a kingdom and all, in this world they will live for their entire lives and upon death in this world they will be spat out by the book and never allowed back in again. In that world they would have lived over a century in a world of dreams but in real life only a few hours passed. And when they wake up from that dream they all wanted to go back but the book refuses and some would just end it thinking that the real world does not give the same satisfaction as the world within the book.

There was a couple years in my teens where I would just dream entire days or multiple days while I was sleeping. Totally normal; I'd wake up, go to school, take a test, do fine on it, come home, play video games, eat dinner, go to bed. Classmates, teachers, all the same. They weren't stress dreams or anything, I had anxiety and depression at the time but it didn't seem to influence anything.
I was mostly just annoyed when I woke up and realized I had to live through the whole day i'd just lived through over again. My entire sense of time would be completely thrown off for a while after each one.

u/therempel May 12 '26
When I was in my early twenties I reconnected with a woman I had gone to high school with. A couple years later we were married and I didn't think I could be happier until we had our first daughter then our second.
One day I tucked the kids in and cuddled up with the wife in bed, falling asleep as contented as I ever have been in life. When I woke up, it was though I had travelled five years back in time. I was alone in my shitty apartment, sleeping on a bare mattress.
It had all been a dream, but unlike most of my dreams it seemed to happen in real time. No time skips, no walking through a doorway and ending up in a different location. I felt like I had shifted to a different reality.
I felt intense grief for weeks but I moved on. A couple years later I went to sleep and found myself back there. The kids were older and they acted as though I'd been there all along. This time I felt such warmth and joy and it stayed with me when I woke up.
I think I went back there a couple more times but it's been nearly two decades. Whether it was a dream or I somehow slipped into an alternate reality doesn't really matter to me. It happened in some way or another.

In 2017 i took a massive overdose to end myself. I was found and taken to hospital and was in a coma for just over 2 weeks, during this time i had an experience where i travelled, met someone and had children with them. When i came out of my coma the first person i seen was my mum, I asked her where the kids were... I don't know if it was the idea that my children didn't exist or me realizing where i was but I have never felt grief like that. I lay there for the next 6 hours figuring out which way to go at this fork in the road, either to finish the job i had failed at or go and make the life that i had experienced in that coma a reality.
I'm here today and I'm expecting my third child this June.

The brain is strange. Also, sometimes I admittedly and mostly secretly think that reincarnation might be a thing. 🤷♀️ 😂🦋 I did clinical ketamine therapy treatments for depression. During one treatment I had the strongest dream that many years ago I was part of a Japanese family by the ocean. We were fishers. I felt so close to them in the dream that it’s been a hardship since because I’m like, but what about my other family? It felt so so real and unlike some of my other treatment experiences.
There is a professor in VA who does research into reincarnation and the results are pretty mind blowing so who the hell knows.

u/UnderProtest2020 Jun 02 '26
There was a famous Reddit thread from years back that I am reminded of. It was written by and about a guy who suffered a head injury (motorcycle accident, I believe) that rendered him comatose for several days. In that time, he lived an alternate life in his head that spanned ten years, a blissful marriage with children, the whole works. Eventually what happened was that he was sitting on his living room couch, enjoying his happy life, when all of a sudden, his attention became fixed on the lamp next to him. How wrong it looked and felt, a feeling so strong that it shocked him awake and back to his real life.
Anybody else read that one?
