While I Was Sleeping

This tale is the recorded memory of a man who recently experienced a remarkably strange journey after being admitted to the intensive care unit of a Houston medical facility with a severe case of pneumonia and septic shock. I know the story so well because I am that man.Although spending eleven weeks in hospital, six of those were in an induced coma, which I believe is the period when the story takes place. It is, I know, the questionable experiences of a grown man on another level of consciousness in a world that, after reading it, a close friend of mine commented, resembles something from the television series The Twilight Zone. The difference is that this is true.The story of my experience starts in an office above a liquor store in Houston, Texas, in the USA, moving to Washington State, where I suffer a tremendous injury and am subsequently and mysteriously transferred to an island in the Irish Sea for rehabilitation. My troubled journey takes me around the strange island and for a short spell, also to Offenbach am Main in West Germany, where I had actually previously lived and worked.Finally, I arrive back in Houston, Texas, troubled, unsure, but overjoyed to be finally rid of my demons and to be reunited with my family and sanity.I know that I must record this before I forget, lest the details should lose their clarity.
