The waking state is created out of consciousness. The dream is created out of consciousness. In deep sleep, consciousness is free of waking or dream.+

In Atmic reality, there is nothing that exists other than consciousness. Only in ignorance is there diversity. All three states are the product of ignorance.

In the state of ignorance, one thinks of his body as the body, the ego as the ego, the world in which he exists as the world.

In ignorance, one has the urge to search for the truth of his true existence. When the waking entity (you) indulges in deeper self-search and becomes aware that the Self is neither the waking entity nor the Self is a dream entity, but the Self is a formless substance and witness of the three states. That formless substance and witness are one, in essence, and that essence is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Thus, consciousness alone is real, and all three states are merely an illusion created out of consciousness. Therefore, there is no second thing that exists other than consciousness.

The waking state is created out of consciousness.

The dream is created out of consciousness.

In deep sleep, consciousness is free of waking or dream.

The three states cease to exist without consciousness. When there is no ignorance, then there is neither waking nor dream nor deep sleep; the Advaita is the very nature of the consciousness.

The waking experience is the state of ignorance because it is the product of ignorance. We are discussing consciousness within the waking experience because we are unaware that the waking experience itself is an illusion : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
