It’s a reference to a "creepypasta" (I don’t know the exact term for it) in which a person hits their head and passes out, but wakes up immediately and goes on living their life as usual.

Eventually he gets a better job, he gets married, has children, etc. But he subtly starts to stare his lamp, because right now it is shaped slightly odd. Days passes and he doesn't stop to stare it...

Ultimately he wakes up in the hospital bed. Everything he experienced was a lie. He was in a coma. He didn't got a better job, a wife or kids... it was all in his head

So how long were they out for in real time? For 20 years?

I don't remember very well, but as far as I remember it wasn't for too long.

Imagine this situation like a near-death experience: you can experience your whole life in a glimpse of time.
