Do you believe in them or do you have your own theory?
I was watching a top 10 channel last night on scary parallel universe theories and one of them got me thinking about how horrible it must feel falling into a coma parallel universe, having an accident to end up in a coma for a few months or years but in that time your mind is in a different universe where you live out your life as normal , get married and have some kids and this goes on for a decade or two.
Then things start changing or becoming misshaped and you wake up in pain out of a coma only to discover that everything that happened wasn't real.
That would really mess with people's heads and it would probably make me so upset if that ever happened. |

I think it's most likely that were a creation of a very powerful AI, on that point it's likely that it's running several simulations or billions at once.
Fascinating but not enough to keep me awake at night  |

It's an interesting thought.
Personally I cannot wait for my mind, memories to be uploaded and then downloaded into a different body. I'm stuck in this one. I believe it will be possible in the future |

With parallel universes being possible, the potentially near infinite possibilities are so mind bogglingly extensive that I've strictly enforced restrictions upon just the one that I barely know and understand.
Our minds are our own infinity almost, so there's another reason to stay with the fantastic aspects of earth 2019. |

"I think anything is possible.
Your scenario is interesting. I wonder if people do 'dream' when they're in a coma.
Maybe dreams are a parallel universe."
It partly depends on the reason for the coma and also where they may be within their recovery processes I think. During severe trauma, our bodies would prioritise survival/repair - there may be blood vessels and supply as well as our brain cells, to restore somewhat. Our levels of consciousness are obviously suppressed and the typical sleep/wake cycle too. As we recover closer to consciousness, where our brain is more healthy, brain activity more like our normal type would become more possible - it often takes some days from starting to come round until we're more constantly with it - during that type of experience we'd have bits and bobs of consciousness and potentially dreaming too. The downside is that our brains would likely still be somewhat damaged and we'd potentially make less sense of things than if we'd been fully healthy |

Apparently so- there are stories from people describing dreams they had while in a coma. Interesting reading.  |
