But one man lived a whole 10 years thinking the same thing until the day something just didn’t feel right. He noticed that something was wrong with his lamp and became fixated on it. Suddenly, he was woken up ,and found himself on the ground with the past 10 years of his life completely erased. He still had the memories of his wife and children but no proof that they ever existed. This is a true story.

It Started Out Like Most Love Stories

The man who goes by the name “temptotosssoon” on Reddit kept his name out of the story because he felt like it was really personal. He described how about ten years he met “a wonderful young lady, she made my heart skip and my face red.” Just like all love stories go he attempted to pursue her but she always seemed to be tied up with a boyfriend who didn’t treat her well: “I pursued her for months and dispatched a few jerk boyfriends before I finally won her over.”

The couple dated for two years before they got married. Soon into their marriage, they gave birth to a baby girl and his happy ever after seemed more possible than ever.

They Lived Happily Ever After…For 10 Whole Years

The man and his wife lived the life that many wish for. They were happy together, their children were healthy. They were wealthy enough to afford a nice house.

“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, and I would walk into his room every morning before I left for work and doted on him and my daughter.” For 10 years, the man watched his children grow up as he said good morning to them every day before going to work. He felt their soft skin, heard their innocent laughs, and watched them form their own identities.

Then A Strange Feeling Kicked In

All seemed well but as the expression goes, nothing good ever lasts forever. In what seemed like the split of a moment, everything changed: “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.” The man couldn’t understand why he was so fixated on the lamp. He could’ve easily brushed it off and gone on with his life but he just couldn’t stop thinking about it. It was like some force of nature was pulling him towards 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.”.

The Man’s Wife Worried About Him

The fixation on the lamp kept getting worse until it became a complete obsession that took over the man’s life. “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.”

At this point, the man’s family started to worry about him and didn’t know how to help him: ” I stared at the lamp for 3 days before my wife got really worried, she had someone come and try to talk to me.” However no amount of talking to cause break this man’s obsession with the lamp. It was pulling all his attention, and he felt like it was almost trying to send him a message. However, the wife couldn’t put up with it.

All The Sudden,  Nothing Was Real Anymore

Just as the wife gave up and left with the kids to stay at her mother’s house, everything clicked in, and the man finally understood: ” 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 ten years of my life are not real!”

The realization was followed by deep pain, both on an emotional and psychological level: ” the lamp started to grow wider and deeper, it was still inverted, 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 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.

Just like that, after 10 years, the man was walking back up, for the first time…

It Was All Due To An Injury

It turns out that the man was still in his last semester at college, not yet even old enough to have been married or had children. He started to put the pieces of the puzzle together and realized that he had suffered an injury during a complication with a football player. The man was only 120 pounds while his opponent weighed 325 pounds, leaving him unconscious on the ground.

The life he had lived had happened entirely in his mind. The man couldn’t believe it himself: while unconscious on the ground I lived a different life.” For a whole 10 years.

Then The Sad Reality Set In

Sadly the reality was much worse than the parallel universe he had travelled to while unconscious. He couldn’t even fully comprehend what was happening when he was waking back up. He remembers: “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).”

The man suffered in trying to cope with the fact that the life that made him happy for so long wasn’t even real. He longed for it and had no idea if he could ever actually recreate it: “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. ”

Parallel Universe?

One way to explain what happened to this man is the theory of parallel dimensions or alternate reality, that states that it’s possible a hypothetical exists in self-contained plane of existence, co-existing with our own. The sum of all these potential parallel universe would combine into the constructed reality of the “multiverse.”

This would maybe give meaning to the visions the man continues to have “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.”

Multiple Versions of The Self

The existence of parallel worlds would also hold parallel versions of us. Scientists think there could be a copy of all of us in a parallel world. This would be someone who is just like you, with the same thoughts and behavior. They would even look like you but they will have made their own choices and decisions which wold lead them to different lives. One decision they made differently at one point can completely alter their path and give them experiences that you will never have. The theory also indicates that perhaps when we sleep, the dreams we have are glimpses into the lives of our parallel selves. Something to think about!

For now perhaps the better we know our self, the more we can make sure we create the kind of life we hope for in this dimension.
