When there is unconsciousness during the dream state, there is still brain activity to indicate that the individual lives. When the individual is dead, there is no brain activity to indicate consciousness. Therefore, consciousness is directly tied to brain activity and that consciousness ceases to exist once there is no longer any brain activity, much in the same way that a flame ceases to exist once it has been extinguished.
