I realise I'm not awake

Surely that's a fundamental step towards awakening?

Realising that one is asleep?

You are not asleep, you are veiled by the density of your emotional structure. The way is purification and the first step for this is putting meditation in the center of your life. Not meditate to "awake" but to see yourself. For me meditation meant sit in the park 3 hours every day. At first was impossible, unbearable, stressing, but little by little the superfluous start to detach from your life. Addiction, relationship from lack, projection, rumination. You should desire being naked , not dressed by spiritual realizations.
