Always Awake Whether Awake or Dreaming

A man describes experiencing clear subject-object distinction in dreams but more seamless awareness while awake. Rupert questions this perceived difference, suggesting dream experiences feel equally real during dreaming as waking states do while awake. He emphasises that regardless of perceived differences between states, what’s important is recognising the unchanging awareness that knows both states without itself transitioning between them – always fully awake, whether perceiving dream content, waking world, or resting alone in deep sleep.
