Verdier, from Lyon in France, had slipped into a coma in June 2025 after what she described to the Daily Mail as a "serious suicide attempt by taking a large amount of medication". She remained in a medically induced coma for three weeks — but inside her mind, an entirely different life unfolded.
Unaware that she was unconscious, Verdier experienced what she described as "extremely intense" dreams and nightmares that became indistinguishable from reality. Among them was a vivid and emotional journey of becoming a mother.
The teenager said the experience felt frighteningly real, complete with physical sensations, emotional turmoil, and years of memories. She recalled:
"I could feel so many things. When I dreamed about giving birth, I felt the stress. I also felt a lot of pain. In this dream, I gave birth to triplets, whom I named Mila, Miles, and Maïlée. Maïlée died shortly after birth. I felt so awful - overwhelmed with sadness and guilt."The hallucination was so detailed that Verdier even remembered holding her babies for the first time.
"It was incredible. I felt an overwhelming wave of love," she added while describing the first "skin-to-skin contact" she experienced in the dream.
Inside that imagined world, years passed. Verdier watched her daughters grow up, develop personalities, and become central to her life. One child, she remembered, was "quite shy", while another was a "bundle of energy".
"I remember walks, meals we shared, and bedtime stories,' she said, adding that she 'loved them with all her heart."
But the emotional high came crashing down the moment she regained consciousness.
When Verdier asked to see her daughters, medical staff informed her that the children were never real. The revelation left her devastated and emotionally disoriented.
"That's when they told me they didn't exist. It was a shock. I was so convinced it was real that the first time I saw my parents again, I told them they were grandparents."Even a year later, the emotional scars remain fresh. Verdier admitted she still struggles to separate herself from the life she experienced in the coma.
"Now I feel very disconnected from others. I still miss [my daughters] today. I lived as a mother - even if it was 'just a dream', with everything I felt and experienced, I will always be their mother. It was my only reality for a while."Despite the heartbreak, Verdier says she hopes to have children one day.
"They will have a different place in my heart, but one just as important."

Either that or the active agents within the medication they injected her with to induce the coma generated such material in her mind.
Fascinating though,... but why would one of them die at birth?!?!? tricky👀 .
There is scientific data around this phenomenon. People have died on the operating table and during their death experienced amazing things, some of them who were clinically dead were able to see the whole process from the ceiling of the operating theater and successfully identified everyone in the room despite not having any way of being able to do this
(from the 'Seth' set of books by Jane Roberts)
"the soul stands at the center of itself, exploring, extending its capacities in all directions at once, involved in issues of creativity, each one highly legitimate. The probable system of reality opens up the nature of the soul to you. It should change current religion’s ideas considerably."
Under no circumstances can I take any shabby British tabloid serious.
Doctors administer sedatives via continuous IV drip (common drugs include propofol, midazolam, ketamine, or barbiturates).
Of these lovely pharmaceuticals:
Dissociatives : Certain dissociative anesthetics, such as ketamine, impact the brain's inhibitory structures. This can result in a state of detachment where critical reasoning is significantly diminished, making the individual less likely to challenge external ideas.
Sedatives and Hypnotics: Central nervous system depressants, including benzodiazepines and barbiturates, function by lowering overall physiological and psychological inhibitions. In specific clinical or high-dosage scenarios, these can induce significant cognitive disruption and a state where the individual lacks the mental acuity to resist external influence.
3 weeks in an induced coma, an induced suggestive state. Makes for an interesting psyop and psych test opportunity. Presented to the world as an amazing story by someone who came out of an induced coma.
Nice slight of hand.
Whether drugs are used or not does not take away from the experience. Steve Jobs took acid and said it was a major catalyst in his inventions. Do you reduce the shockwave of technological and societal change down to the uptake/down regulation of neurotransmitters? When you wake up in the morning and drink coffee, do you put everything you did during that morning down to mere biological processes? You likely put it down to having a "good" or productive day.
Besides, it's important to remember that these particular experiences have been documented for a long time and lend credence to the possibility that we are capable of far more than what we often believe. Patients have awoken from being dead but have somehow been able to identify everyone in the room that was present during a surgery despite being unconscious coming into the operating theater and having no prior introduction to any of the team. A woman when flung into the extremes of survival mode was capable of lifting one end of a car to save her child despite normally not being able to deadlift 100kg. Babies being capable of being fully submerged under water far longer than the average adult can hold their breath and not so much as demonstrating a single concern. People battling end stage cancer and surviving while the odds were next to none. The feats of human potential once considered impossible that year on year are proven possible.
Just chemicals? Just drugs? Just biological processes?
It seems like you are reducing down the entire history of humanity to mere cellular impulses, accidents, mechanical processes, but that in and of itself is a disguise for the magic that exists underneath. Like a magician with their slight of hand, as you say.
Refusing to acknowledge the mystery only proves its far more mysterious, not the opposite
Unlike an NDE, this is a coma, not a coma caused by some traumatic event.
Most people coming out of those types don't see or experience anything. I've ask my cousin this several times about his coma, that wasn't induced and lasted more than 2 weeks.
The coma discussed in this article was induced and the drugs used to do this, can make a person susceptible to external suggestion/influence.
As I read this article, click bait came to mind.
So it could be:
1) A made up story
2) A real story
3) A combination of 1 & 2
3 could have been nefarious, a different application of mku, via an induced coma using a made up story. The proof of concept, real person awakens, remembers story, it goes to press voila proof of concept.
I do not trust most stories as the truth is usually hidden. This one didn't sit right with me. Given everyone's responses above, made my spidey sense go off even louder.
What if, the whole news story was some kind of test, propaganda to elicit certain response of thr general population. Kinda like a seeder story for another story / news article / click bait. There is too much ai crap floating around and being rammed down our senses for me to simply believe most stories.
So no, I do not believe this story to be true. I need more data. It's written in a sensational manner. Something is off, for me.
I have presented another point of view, that was the point I was making.
While Musk is allegedly a trillionaire now, he is basically just a white-collar mercenary of the empire. And needs the same drugs to function properly as such ...
