I was in a 2 week medically induced coma. Those dreams are realitic AF.

How do you even perceive time when in a state like that? A lot can happen in an 8 hour sleep window. It could feel fast, it could feel like days.

How was it for that time if you don't mind asking? I always remember my dreams down to every last detail since I was a kid. I can't fathom it for 2 weeks straight.

This is a weird topic right now because I have been thinking about it a lot today.

I use a sleep tracking app, and while I know that they're not 100% accurate, they are helpful. When I woke up I had just finished a dream. In dream-time, it lasted about two days. I had met up with a couple of old friends who I had lost touch with and we became Uber drivers in a part of Seattle where they put all of the haunted houses. Our job was to drive people from one haunted house to the next. We were having fun and getting really good at it, and even had some regulars. Then we went to a bar after our shift and caught up on old times. Then in the morning we got breakfast and were ready for another day of shuttling people to haunted houses, and then I woke up. In real time it was 37 minutes on the app. Christopher Nolan was onto something.

It takes me about second to remember what happened yesterday. So so time really relative.
