Do you mean the state of having conscious experiences at all, or the qualia of having/being a self? Those seem different to me, but you seem to talk about both.
I’m not sure how to distinguish these, since what different people mean by these words is likely to vary as much as the experiences they have in this area. All I can say is that the state I mean is the one I described in experiential terms, a vivid sense of my own presence.
