Abandon all ignorance ye who exit here. It's that Himalayan bordertown, Jake. There are two states of sleep: deep and dreaming. There are two states of dreaming: subtle and phenomenal.
Subtle dreaming is called the dreaming state. Phenomenal dreaming is called the waking state. What one wants is phenomenal experience. What one needs is Brahmavidya.
Desire isn't dirty in and of itself. Desire for reality is an immaterial one. Consciousness-existence is the fire. Firewood is the body-mind. Brahmavidya knows avidya isn't vidya.
