What does it mean to "spiritually awaken"?

To realize that the physical aspects of this world and the spiritual ones are interwoven, and that most people 'sleep' thru their lives, never sensing any spiritual aspects at all. To then progress to the point that you shed your 'sleeping thru life'-ways, that you look for the spiritual aspects everywhere, giving them the possibility of being anywhere, and as time passes you become able to perceive them and interact with them.
