Thoughts:
Other than the obvious supernatural nature of the main concept both worlds would be completely reality based, not science fiction or fantasy type of settings. But perhaps they would take place in different times, so one reality was a period piece.
One of the realities would take place in a modern setting where the main character would start the story out on medication for his narcolepsy. He would stop taking them counter to doctors directions, and that lack of medication would be what allows him to begin to remember his alternate life.
Initially he would believe that the alternate life was no more than a series of vivid dreams. But eventually he will come to believe otherwise. He will find he has knowledge he does not think he could have if he the alternate life was all in his head.
