Consciousness

[Cainite]

In the physical reality, I am constantly thinking about life and the meaning thereof.  I feel like i have a very strong conscious awareness, but during dreams, i only sometimes realize i have conscious awareness.  Normally, during dreams, i am moving along the story with no real awareness, and I don't have a full memory, maybe a memory bank pertaining to the dream.  Only sometimes i realize who I am and have conscious awareness.

My question is, when we die, do we have a lower, same, or higher conscious awareness than we do in this physical reality?  Do our physical bodies give us more conscious awareness?  I don't know if i should be judging based on how i am during dreams or what.

What are your understanding?

Thanks

The quality of conscious awareness in dreams also depends on how deep you sleep. not just how strong your conscious awareness in wake life is.

And yes. if there's an afterlife in which we're conscious, chances are it's much better in every way.
