B When we’re awake and occupied with some manual task, we enact a bodily self geared to our immediate environment. Yet this bodily self recedes from our experience if our task becomes an absorbing mental one. If our mind wanders, the mentally imagined self of the past or future overtakes the self of the present moment.

To be alive is to live with an existential duality: 

You crave everything (possessions and love) but are also destined to lose everything.

One can simply display this incompleteness by trying to explain sweetness to someone who never tasted it or colours to a blind person. Applying this to Nirvana makes clear, that "Nirvana is the untranslatable expression of the unspeakable, of that for which [...] is no word"[1]. Therefore, the following explanations rather focus on how Buddhists use the term Nirvana than giving a concrete definition.

As we start to fall asleep, the sense of self slackens. Images float by, and our awareness becomes progressively absorbed in them. The impression of being a bounded individual distinct from the world dissolves. In this so-called hypnagogic state, the borders between self and not-self seem to fall away

b The feeling of being a distinct self immersed in the world comes back in the dream state. We experience the dream from the perspective of the self within it, or the dream ego. Although the entire dream world exists only as a content of our awareness, we identify our self with only a portion of it— the dream ego that centers our experience of the dream world and presents itself as the locus of our awareness.
