You can take it literally, if you like.  He’s talking of the period when he lay semi-conscious in the pit, and his fragmented memories of that time are dissociated from his returned spirit.  He even contrasts it with the time he actually died.
Why not tackle the more substantive issues?  Do you think Horn died, and if so when?  Before or after the time he ‘saw’ the long-nosed man?  Before or after he got thirsty?
