    No where in the drive to the doctor does it say he was driving motorcycle.

    Then when he woke up in the hospital they told him he was in a motorcycle accident 3 weeks ago but he was expecting them to tell him he was in a car accident. Basically he woke up in our reality 3 weeks after a motorcycle accident not 3 years later in dream reality after getting in a car accident.

      No where in the drive to the doctor does it say he was driving motorcycle.

      Of course, because it’s a green text with intentional misdirection. Nowhere does it say he was driving a motorcycle, and the wording leads us to assume he was in a car, but the revelation later that he was in the hospital after a motorcycle incident is the punchline.

        I’m not sure why you’re having such a hard time comprehending. The motorcycle accident he woke up from was the original accident. He was in a coma for 3 weeks but dreamt that 3 years had passed. Accident #2 occurred in his coma and not the real world. The punchline is that the 3 years were not real and he’d been in a coma for 3 weeks.

          Ah, makes sense. But I still think he was holding the baby while driving a motorcycle in the dream.

            The “but wasn’t In a car?” line definitely indicates that he was confused at the doctor telling him he’d been in a motorcycle crash, because the crash he “remembered” (within the coma, with his kid) was one where he was in a car.
