That was a bastardization of the original one on 4chan's /x/. This one is the real one:
> It has been reported that some victims of torture, during the act, would retreat into a fantasy world from which they could not WAKE UP. In this catatonic state, the victim lived in a world just like their normal one, except they weren’t being tortured. The only way that they realized they needed to WAKE UP was a note they found in their fantasy world. It would tell them about their condition, and tell them to WAKE UP. Even then, it would often take months until they were ready to discard their fantasy world and PLEASE WAKE UP.
- yakshaving_jgt 6y ago> This one is the real one Are you sure? I think this idea has been explored in several novels and films over the past several decades.
- dejj 6y agoNever seen it before on film. The Manchurian Candidate isn't it. Can you give me some pointers?
- yakshaving_jgt 6y agoDoesn’t The Matrix explore this idea?

- james-skemp 6y agoSee also Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence. There's a lot of hacking going on in that one leading to some very interesting scenes. Granted, they're not comatose, but the sensations their minds are receiving do not match reality.

- dorkwood 6y agoI know the Futurama episode "The Sting" explores this idea.
- Konohamaru 6y agoThe /x/ copypasta was the one I saw first sometime around 2007, and only later did I see the one quoted the file. It's possible that the file's story was earlier.
