We spend so much time in the 'waking' world that we see the dream world as the illusion. We use the memes we find here, even the same metaphysical concepts, and it doesn't get you very far in understanding the dream world. Ultimately, mediating for long periods of time can unlock a deeper understanding of what goes on 'there'. Dying is like that, only there is no return. As a biological expression of the laws of reality, your form can 'tune into' the element of consciousness. It isn't a phenomenon created by your brain, but something you tune into, like a radio; you have form, that form expresses consciousness.
Your perspective of consciousness can be transcended with Raja Yoga. I will outline a step by step process for coming to know God. It developed me from being a militant rationalist (spiritual autist) to having an understanding of what religion is actually getting at. For me personally, it started when I began practicing yoga and reading the writings of Crowley on mysticism.
We come from a place, and we will go back there when we die.
