so what I am realizing is that that experience left me feeling like I was actor and that's how I've felt my whole life, that I was just acting my different parts but at the same time I am identified with the me, so that would have created a split, or something. ???hmmmm....am I overthinking this?

And the answer is...drum roll, please. 

Consciousness!!!

Bingo!!!

Do I get a prize?

I am the same as I ever was. No different. I can't even remember what I was like 5 10 20 years ago.
Shoot, I can't see myself, except in a mirror, and is that me? A little less light and the image in the mirror changes. Is that me with light or is that me with less light?
IDK.

Is that awareness, that intangible thingy the source of our authentic desire or the spiritual sense of rightness versus wrongness within our character in the dreamstate?

The sorce of our authentic identity and ability in the intergrated state of dreamstate?Or the socurce of subtle permission and everyone’s unique pattern and quotidian miracle? The source of individuality of soul in the dreamstate?

This concept let me recall  what Milan Kundera said; he said every character in his novel (I think it's the same as our character in Brahman's dream)has a metaphor or essence beyond the appearance of his every actions, thoughts, or feelings. Which is the German term ''Grund''. Everyone has a Grund craved in our heart, that is the  permanent cause of our every actions, where our destiny grows.

Just like you said, these all things are only phenomenon within the dreamstate which isn’t ture and can’t understand. What I really care about is that awareness is related to my unique pattern? If so, figuring out that will help me open my eyes to see the patteren or become H/A? Or all this stuff are only the things  distracting me from going further and becoming H/A?

I remember images of me and other people from childhood. Where are those people now? Only within my mind. Were they ever outside my mind? I look at some people now and believe they are real. Are these images real? Do they tell me the truth? Can I trust them? The message sent by the images I see is based on my beliefs (accumulated wrong knowing) and is actually coming from my mind.

I thought I knew everything when my universe was limited.

Of course, that's why humans limit things from relationships to travel plans... so they can dream that they understand (and control) what cannot be understood or controlled. Man plans and the Gods laugh.

If I know I am the absolute, everything is easy and boring. If I don't know who I am, I may believe I am weak, helpless, so getting things seems worthy, I enjoy playing games, feeling important if I succeed in anything.

I know nothing. Whatever I believe I know, along with its context, is in my mind.

'I' is a thought. When I think of myself, the thought 'I' goes in a certain direction, manifesting my ego. When someone else thinks of himself or herself, the thought 'I' goes in a different direction. That's why I am myself and I cannot be others, while others cannot be me. But 'I' is just a thought. Without it, is there any person left or just an undifferentiated reality?
