Reminds me of this anecdote[0], where the person 'lived' an entirely different life while he was lying unconscious on the ground.

There’s absolutely no way of knowing that you’re not living in a dream as we speak right now.

That's the scary part! I woke up very disoriented, full of all sorts of emotions - disappointment, sadness, total confusion. I couldn't make sense of what just happened. It was scary. I also missed my "dream family". I couldn't believe they were gone and it was all a dream.

I've told this to people, and they did not believe me.

It took a good 3 days to shake off all of the emotions I was feeling over a dream. I did a fair bit of research on this and found that many people report the same happening to them.
