After you're born you exist and have some form of experience or other even before your first memories. But before you're even conceived you just don't exist at all. See?
So what you're saying it that you've discovered proof that consciousness cannot exist apart from the body?
You are a body with a brain. Your body is what is conscious. Consciousness is a process, not a being. Your body is the being.
Science supports the idea that the mind is brain-dependent with studies of brain damage through injuries and strokes, studies of the effects of drugs (including anesthesia) on consciousness, studies of sleep and dreaming when some parts of the brain turn off, and studies of how different parts of the brain are specialized for different functions.
Why do you think consciousness is some separate substance?
