Insight about the stream of consciousness

[Forrest Adkins]

I dont know if this is bullshit but yesterday I had the insight that life is a neverending stream of consciousness / forms / colors.

Notice that even when you wake up in the morning and you didnt have a dream that you just conceptualize it after the fact that when you look at your clock and notice that time has passed you say to yourself "ok so between hour x and hour y I was unconscious". But from a direct experience point of view you really weren't, it was a continuous stream of experience.

Not sure what exactly you mean, but you are conscious all the time, even when you sleep, you are just not aware of it, or you do not have direct memory of it, you can actually notice it with some memory training to recall what actually happened when you slept, that is not all, not only you are conscious 

when you sleep, but you actually know that you are dreaming when you sleep, but that is bit more complicated to understand.
