Therefore the only plausible explanation is that you never really "die" your physical body is gone, and you are reborn with no pauses in between. Now the method in which this occurs is either not known or I haven't read that far yet. Either way you can't deny its true.
It most certainly is not true.
When you are dead your ability to be conscious and unconscious both stop completely. Life sustaining electrical activity ceases, and within a short time the brain decays irreparably.
There is a very simple way to disprove your theory. You exhibit a logical fallacy known as 'false dichotomy'. You firstly assert that a person can only ever be conscious or unconscious, which is not correct. If you are neither conscious nor unconscious, then you have ceased brain function.
There's another flaw, you say you cannot be unconscious because you cannot be aware of not being aware, but that is totally irrelevant. People are unconscious all the time. The vast majority of time when you sleep you are not lucid, when people sustain a head injury and 'lose consciousness' they - unsurprisingly - lose consciousness. More often than not when people are unconscious they are not aware.
If you die then you are dead. Trying to play word games won't change that.
