When you live only in the waking state of consciousness then you are in a state of illusion. Your life is only based on trying to gain the maximum and lose the minimum. Trying only to find your happiness through people and acquiring things and diverse experiences, The illusion is that the fulfillment of all of your desires will bring about peace and happiness. However, we eventually realize that fulfilling desires only works temporarily as there is a new desire or a fear of losing what you have obtained. If you remain a victim of this illusion that only the waking state is the reality, then you will continue to enjoy and suffer. When you get free from the waking state then you live in the bliss of your own Self.
