If consciousness seems to reside exclusively in memory (we dream every night but sometimes we don't remember it, so to us it just feels like we skipped to the morning), then we're essentially just a memory on our own death bed. I don't understand how we're able to experience anything at all, since we're sort of already dead from this perspective.
I just can't come to terms with ceasing to exist.

Life is a dream that we shouldn't be able to remember, but that's exactly what we're doing right now

OP, you're over-thinking it. There are people with neurological disorders who have no memory at all. They are still conscious.

Fool that you are. Consciousness is not exclusive to memory. You are conscious during dreams you just dont remember it. You can be conscious and not remember something. Like black out drunk you were a conscious being but you wont remember it. Memory only serves consciousness to help put context to the current.

To paraphrase many others: The time before your birth did not trouble you. Neither will the time after your death.

You never die, you just change form.

You experience this moment. That's all.
From the perspective of past and future, you are dead. Because past/future is memory and memory is dead.
You exist now.
