So, to cut to the chase, I started to re-watch LOST, and in an ep. one of the characters saw a bunch of family members etc. on the island and was telling him that he's in a coma and the only way to get out of it was to jump off the cliff.
This started making me think.. About a year ago I was involved in a serious car accident, (in which I was fully responsible for and was an idiot). According to the doctors and the first on scene I should have died, just to get a picture of it they needed to have 2 tow trucks to get the mazda 3 out of where I wedged the car between hydro poles. ANYWAYS, being in such an accident where dying was a high possibility (and I know a bunch of you have also been in situations where dying was an actual variable) I started to think what if I actually died/was in a coma and that life was just being made up from my brain and that nothing was in fact real..
I had this conversation with a friend tonight and it was actually really fun to talk about. So I obviously, (as always) turn to NS to hear your opinion on this, and what you think/feel.
Contrary to popular belief surrounding this thread, Iam NOT high, although such a topic being brought forth seems as though otherwise haha.

i don;t remember my source but I read that your brain remains active for 10 min after death. So even if you would have died you might not realize it until your brain shuts off completely. I guess during that time is when you look back at the memories in your lifetime. Don't quote me though.

Just quoted you. Energy doesn't just disappear after your body's vital functions stop. It takes a bit to dissipate. You don't get 10 minutes of time-bending consciousness, you get the last little bit of neurotransmitters setting off neurons. That is to say, you're already dead and there are negligible electrical charges left.

All of ns is actually just 4 people playing an elaborate trick on you. Every single member you've ever interacted with is one of the same 4 people under hundreds of aliases

What if its like inception, and time is faster than reality when you are in a coma? like OP could have crashed a week ago and currently be in a coma, but his mind kept going and is imagining that he was fine, and it thinks that it has been a year since the accident
