I recently got hit with the seasonal flu like a month ago that was going around and stubbornly didn't go to a doctor. Ended up with a fever of ~105 on average and peaked at like 106 while still having chills as well.

There was a period of 3 days where it was the worst and I have no idea what happened during that time except scant bits of random memories of drinking water and passing out on the couch covered in blankets. The fever dreams you mentioned is definitely on point to what I experienced as well. Was never sure if I was really awake or dreaming with my eyes closed. Which like... I'm not sure how to phrase that in a way that makes sense or differentiate from regular dreaming cause reading it right now just sounds dumb

Time made no sense during that whole period and still doesn't. It's like my body, even two weeks later, still hasn't registered that I existed for those days. Very surreal in a bad way, do not recommend
