What is it to be awake? What is it that is awake? 
~~ When you imagine yourself to be a character, you are dreaming yourself. You dream the character, you dream its activities, you dream its awakening. Everything about the character is dream. 
What is awake is awareness. 
Truth is Isness/Awareness, beyond waking and sleeping. 
To know yourself is to know that you are beyond the manifest realm, beyond the realm of opposites. 
That is the ultimate knowingness. Once it establishes itself, you and Sat-Chit-Ananda are one. 
In spite of your dream, you have never been a dream character. 
You are the Self eternal. The peace of being. 
Awaken to that.
