Ooooh! Such great questions. Speaking of "awake," that brings us to the definition of consciousness: the state of being awake and aware of one's surroundings. And so to answer your question is consciousness an illusion: a thing that is or is likely to be wrongly perceived or interpreted by the senses. It can be based on who is judging on what is "right or wrong." I personally believe there is no "right or wrong" in life, only what you believe to be true.
