Answer: Four and a half years

When 1974 rolls around, Sarah finds herself pregnant with her first child, giving birth to him on Halloween. Elsewhere, Vera Smith sells all the furniture in the Smith household in an effort to support religious outlets. Herb gives her one final ultimatum. At the start of 1975, a fourth body is found; Carol Dunbarger is yet another woman killed by a serial killer. A couple of weeks after this, on May 17, Johnny awakens from a bad dream, leaving the darkness and returning to the waking world. His time in the coma nearly tops out at five years. When he grabs a nurse by his bedside, he finds he knows the details of her life. He undergoes a battery of tests, finding that certain innocuous images are blocked as though they're in little dead zones. His neurologist believes that it may have something to do with the way his brain healed after an earlier trauma in his life. It's then that he sees his neurologist's history...and then his mother's life through a photograph.

That almost ruined their date.

From Quiz The Dead Zone

Answer: In her luggage

Things changed when Johnny slept. As surgeries are held to repair Johnny's body, his neurologist, Sam Weizak, suggests that the word of his alleged 'second sight' will almost certainly leak out to the press. The visions don't stop, however. When Sarah finally visits, Johnny touches her and sees everything, indicating to her that she lost her wedding ring, misplacing it in her luggage on her honeymoon in Montreal. Sure enough, she finds it there, stowed away in the attic. Vera's attitude doesn't change and she stops taking her new medicine. When Johnny touches her, he gets the sense that she won't last much longer, likely dying of a stroke by Christmas. He does all he can to urge his father to convince her of their importance. At the same time, Johnny is invited back to work at the high school, albeit in the second semester. He also happens to be courting a potential book deal based on his experiences. These bright spots fall by the wayside, however, when he comes into contact with his physical therapist, Eileen, determining that she left the burner on on her stove. When they call the fire department, sure enough her house is nearly ready to burst into flames.

Answer: 'Inside Views'

After the fire, reporters start to show up, brought in by rumours spread by the hospital's nursing staff. One of the reporters, skeptical of Johnny's abilities, forces him to touch a particular family heirloom to prove his mettle and, as could be expected, Johnny finds that he can understand many hidden parts of the man's life. The instance is caught on camera and broadcast on the news, and that's why Vera has her inevitable stroke. Sam Weizak drives Johnny across the state to his mother's hospital and she dies that night, telling him to do the duty God bestowed upon him. By October, Johnny lives back with his father in Maine. Sarah plans to visit him for the first time out of the hospital, but in the meantime, a reporter from the tabloid 'Inside Views' offers him a job-- one he promptly refuses on account of his interest in keeping his new abilities out of the limelight.

Answer: Castle Rock

While Johnny stays with his father, Sarah brings Denny by for a visit and they make good on the date that they would have had if Johnny had not been in the accident. Unfortunately for both of them, it's as far as their relationship would go; Johnny wouldn't see her again for another few years. By November, 'Inside Views' decries Johnny as a hoax in their November issue. Nonetheless, he's contacted by Castle Rock's Sheriff Bannerman (on a recommendation from Sam Weizak). The Castle Rock Strangler has claimed his sixth victim, this time a nine year old girl, and he has nowhere else to turn for answers. Greg Stillson, now the mayor of a New Hampshire town, harasses a college kid at a police station. With his political career snowballing he plans on running for the House of Representatives within a year and he strong-arms a local banker into running his campaign, even if it takes blackmail to convince him.

Answer: Nuclear war

In February 1976, Johnny moves out of Maine and out to New Hampshire looking for work, eventually scoring a tutoring job for a seventeen-year-old rich kid named Chuck Chatsworth, who struggles with a reading problem. A lot seems to be happening in the state at the same time. with an election looming, Greg Stillson's men threaten anyone who acts against his political plans. Johnny gets a snap feeling when he shakes hands with Jimmy Carter, recognizing that the man will become President. On the flip side of this, the New Hampshire elections also prove to be aberrant with Stillson's platform being run on virtual chaos. Johnny ends up in the town of Trimbull for a rally and he shakes Stillson's hand to foresee an apocalyptic future in which the man wins the presidency and leads the way to nuclear thermonuclear war. He's attacked by Stillson's men until he blacks out.
