When you are dreaming, the dream seems to be "totally REAL!". Yet when you wake up, you realize that it was "only a dream".
Right NOW, you are actually in Spirit. You are not in any physical dimension. You have never left Spirit.
Right NOW, you are in Spirit - dreaming that you are having this physical incarnation.
Right NOW, this dream of having a physical incarnation seems "totally REAL!".
Yet, when you go through the "death" transition, you WAKE UP from this dream, and "remember" that you are actually Spirit.
And you realize, that this entire physical incarnation experience was "only a dream".
.... The Kicker? We don't even have to become disembodied (die) to experience this! Why?
Per the last line in Miss Hepburn's excellent signature by Sri Lahiri Mahasaya: "...Meditate unceasingly that you quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence...."
We already are, and have always been, the very "embodiment" of this Truth!...even this very moment!
How's that for an awakening!
"Gosh, Kosh, what'd I miss while I was asleep on Earth?"
Kosh: "How many times I gotta tell you? Everytime you get born again? You have always been here!"

My dear Guthrio
While I'm not disagreeing with you in the least, is there more? If it was a dream then what does that mean for our experiences? The reality of the dream is as valid a reality as the not-a-dream or the waking state and they are both the consciousness of Spirit.
You can become conscious that you are conscious, then become conscious of what you are conscious of. Every time you think you have consciousness nailed down it jumps up a level, it takes a quantum leap to itself and it encompasses the newly-discovered levels of itself. The dreamer becomes the dreamer, the dream and what is dreamt of.
Many years ago I was asked "Are you a butterfly thinking you are a Samurai, or are you a Samurai thinking you are a butterfly?" There are three answers to that question and each is a 'layer' of consciousness.
