Ultimate Nightmare: Paralyzed man misdiagnosed as "Coma"

I don't know for sure that this is a common nightmare, but I often have a dream that I am trapped in bed, unable to move, with sinister things going on around me. It is a terrifying experience to be so absolutely helpless, while conscious of what is going on around me. Luckily, it is just a dream. But it was no dream for one man.

I can't imagine what kind of horror this was - 23 long years! It is a miracle that he is still sane.
