If Consciousness is everything what are you seeking?

That would be like scuba diving in the ocean searching for water.

Or

Looking for hay in a haystack.

Searching for your glasses when there on your head. ?

This insight just popped into my mind the other day:

If you look for enlightenment, you won't find it. If you don't look for enlightenment, you especially won't find it.

Or have you perhaps considered:

Enlightenment will simply find (seek) you, no matter what you do, since there is no you ??

Because I still tell myself stories that this ain't a dream

It's real and I am real!!!

(Says the ego)

It's just tough to drop the illusion completely.

The seeking of this thing, is something the finite self does. Perhaps out of curiosity. The finite self does not know its infinite nature, it is the finite self that desires this realization.

Remember dropping is just a metaphor describing what seems to happen. 

Don't try to drop anything.

Inquire into who am I.

It's an interesting question to consider. For me personally, what I truly seek is to be free of the discomfort, the sadness, the fear I feel, but it's my aversion to these feelings that keeps me in their grip. So I have no alternative but to face them, however painful or uncomfortable they might feel.

It can be arduous work, but it's worth the effort :)

What you said reminded me of this.
