what does it mean to become 'awake'?

[isis]

These past few days I've experienced such an incredible feeling of what I can only describe as 'oneness', where I felt myself completely melting with my surroundings while my whole being was flooded and pulsing with love and light. It's like a deep realization of connection to all and each in it's divine essence, which left me sobbing and laughing as it is more humbling than anything I've ever experienced before. It's like shifting from a sense of 'knowing' there is no separation to feeling and seeing it, like, everywhere. (There was no dramatization used to describe this experience lol)
I don't know what it means to be awake but this was/is awesome! It has turned me into a kind of 'hug all' type too. :p
