"When I woke up, I found that everyone was wearing masks." In 2019, S Jun was in a coma for two years because of a car accident, and some people wondered if he had traveled through time and space in these two years? However, for him, the real world at the moment is the most magical. Here's his self-description.
The escort who took care of me for more than a year told me that when I was about to wake up, my electrocardiogram suddenly fluctuated violently.
My heart was beating faster and my forehead was sweating.
I wanted to open my eyes, but I had no strength, and my body was like a house in disrepair, dilapidated and painful, as if it would collapse completely if I moved.
I was so frightened that I thought I was dead, and the consciousness of this moment was connected to the moment before the coma—the car that was rushing towards me appeared in front of me, and I subconsciously tried to find the rewind button on the keyboard—and although the moment of the car accident may have only been a few seconds, it was like slow motion to me.
Then I felt so bright in front of my eyes, as if someone was urging me. The doctor propped open my eyelids with his hand, and the light from the flashlight flickered on my pupils—I finally opened my eyes.
The escort told me that it was already 2021. It turned out I had been in a coma for two years, incredible.
Some people wonder if I have traveled to another time and space in the past two years. I didn't go anywhere, just lay in my hospital bed and went into the darkness of nothingness, like sleeping a long, long sleep. I can't hear anything, I can't smell anything. When I shared this news online, many netizens wanted to know what I had experienced in the past two years. I felt embarrassed. How do you describe to someone a time when you "disappeared"? Those two years were like being stolen by aliens.

I checked on the Internet, and people dream when they are unconscious. I don't remember any of the dream contents, but now some of the dreams I have always have familiar plots. Could this be a dream in a coma?
Before I fell unconscious, I was about to take the college entrance examination, and I was still wearing a school uniform. When I crossed the street, I saw that a child did not notice the car in front of me, so I ran over and pushed him away, but I couldn't run away. In my memory, in the sound of a continuous trumpet, my body escaped gravity and flew up.
I've read a lot of near-death experiences in fiction. In War and Peace, the protagonist, Duke André, feels that he is dying, but he gains peace and detachment, "he constantly touches his presence in the continuation of his life, and is approaching him at this time, and, according to the strange and relaxed feeling he experiences, it is almost understandable and can be felt".
In another Russian novel, Ice Palace, 11-year-old Unin curls up in a room inside a labyrinthine frozen waterfall, listening to the sound of pouring water. She didn't feel cold. "Everything that should be upright is upside down," but "that's what they should be." Death comes quietly like a chaotic sleep.

But before I could experience it, I fell into a long coma. It felt like I was stored in a frozen sleeping cell, my brain and body were dormant, but the world didn't stop, and the earth kept circling the sun.
When I was asleep, an infectious disease called "new crown pneumonia" had evolved several rounds and was in a pandemic all over the world; basketball superstar Kobe Bryant fell with an airplane and left the world forever; and the Apple phone had been produced to model 13, and I was using only the Apple 6...
Isn't all this more magical than a dream?
After waking up, I found that the textbook knowledge I memorized before the coma was still there, and the college entrance examination questions were still done, but I was slightly less skilled. When I wanted to express myself, I found that I forgot a lot of words to say, not to mention that there were many new words in the past two years. Hey, why is everybody talking about "inner volume"?
Two years of coma, resulting in my body is not very bright, the whole body muscles atrophy, lumbar spine, cervical vertebrae herniated, after a year of recovery, the body is still in pain from time to time. Now walking on the road, I will also suddenly fall because I don't have the strength, as if my nerves are not yet well adjusted to the waking life.
In two years, a new world has changed. /Movie "Fragments of Memory"
Two weeks before I woke up, I looked at my face and it didn't seem to change. Curiously, after that, I suddenly felt that I was "getting old" uncontrollably, as if my body was going to speed up to catch up with the lost two years.
Everyone told me that if you don't die, you will be blessed. Restarting life is more difficult than I thought, but the ghost door has come over, what else can't be passed?
