OF 'i'
The state with thoughts and with 'I' consciousness is the waking state, jāgrat, in which most of us are now (not all, some of us are in the dream state— sleeping already!)
The next state is when we have thoughts, but 'I' consciousness is absent. This is the dream state—svapna. You may ask, 'How?' It is like this: In the dream state, the frequency of thoughts will be more than the frequency of 'I' consciousness. That is why we are not able to control our dreams.
When we are awake, the frequency of 'I' is more, that is why we can control our thoughts; we can suppress them, divert them, create them; we can do anything we want because the frequency of 'I' is more than the frequency of thoughts. In the dream state, the frequency of thoughts is more than the frequency of 'I'.

That is why we cannot control our
dreams. If we can have the dreams
of our choice, we know what kind
of dreams we will have! Dreams are
not in our control. We cannot
influence them. We cannot have
choices because the frequency of
thoughts is more than the
frequency of consciousness. So we
have thoughts but no 'I'
consciousness. The flow of thoughts
happening in our being is the
dream state.
In the next state, neither 'I'
consciousness nor the flow of
thoughts exists. This is deep sleep.
This is called suṣupti. The three
states are jāgrat, svapna, suṣupti—
conscious, subconscious,
unconscious.
