Apperception is a function of memory, not consciousness. Otherwise twilight sedation wouldn't work.

I invite you in repost to consider a red wall as apprehended within the senses. Are you to imply that it is impossible to infer a darker or lighter shade, dimmer or brighter, less or more vivid, without direct apprehension within the senses, within the imagination? I would argue that the contents of your imagination is equal to the sum of your experiences added to the sum of your conceptualizations regarding those experiences.

When asleep you take your dream to be reality because you cannot compare it to anything more vivid. While conscious and awake you are quite capable of differentiating between imagination and reality due to reality being the most vivid within the senses.
