It really reminds me of the Scanner Darkly (By Philip K. Dick) scene where Charles Freck tries to kill himself with pills but bought bad pills and instead went into a hallucination where an alien reads all his sins to him, a process taking tens of thousands of years.

By the time he wrote Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said, he had essentially transitioned to scotch, which probably hastened his early death in 1982. A Scanner Darkly was an autobiographical look back at his drug-abusing years.
