Ok i think i understand, correct me if I'm wrong.
So basically the conciousness percieves whether its awake or asleep. But the quality of perception depends on whether its awake or asleep.
So the conciousness trapped within ego still percieves ,but it percieves through the desires of that ego. Conciousness through the ego is considered a "sleeping" state of conciousness.
As appose to an awaken state of conciousness which is comprehensive cognizant knowledge/awarness of both the ego, and of what one is doing within the present moment.
Both these modes of conciousness translate into the internal worlds and produce experiences accordingly(i.e. dreams, astral projection, ect)
In summary both modes of conciousness(awake and asleep) can percieve the experience, but both modes have different qualities. Mainly one is through ego and the other is with free conciousness.
