The fact that you're asking shows that you can't imagine where it would go (and that therefore it must have just disappeared), and that's understandable, as neither do I. And that's just it. We're humans in a physical world, this is all we know. What else is there? We can't imagine, because our primary experience is our everyday experience (apart from dreams). And that's why I believe that we simply can't relate to whatever we became aware of when our consciousness left our body. if that's the cse, then surely whatever we experience while away is very different to what we usually experience, perhaps even something that we can't even relate to. I think we filter it out, and forget, or, our brains can't make sense of what we experienced (why would it? It's designed / "tuned" for this physical world and everything in it). But having said that, I'm sure we've all heard of people who claim to have seen this or that while away.
