It has been reported that some victims of rape, 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 raped. 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
