"The advanced Kriya Yogi learns by ectasy to shut off the delusion-imposed dream of this world and of his body and to substitute a Self-created dream world and dream existence in which he can interact with the Lord's cosmic dream, playing any part, without the fearsome coercions and entanglements of delusion. By the power of concentration, the Kriya Yogi dismisses from his consciousness the cosmic dream world, and his dream body and its subconscious dreams and reaches the awakened, dreamless state of ecstasy...By continuous ecstasy throughout life, he transcends the circumscriptions of a body-bound ego ...After he loses the wakefulness of his ecstasy, he again perceives as a definite reality--too hard to forget--his physical dream body and the astral dream body encased within it. Only by deeper ecstasies, when the yogi secures unbrokenly his soul union with the transendetal Spirit, can he consciously dissolve the cosmic dream..."

Volume II pages 737-738 from God Talks with Arjuna The Bhagavad Gita by Paramahamsa Yogananda copyright by SRF

Kriyaban, this is not meant to answer your question, but it has always inspired me and maybe you may find something of value in this quote of Paramahamsaji. Especially in this segment--
" Only by deeper ecstasies, when the yogi secures unbrokenly his soul union with the transendetal Spirit, can he consciously dissolve the cosmic dream..."
Paramahamsaji indicates that the continued practice of ecstasy (absorption in the Intoxication or post kriya state) gradually brings the Sadhaka to Mukti or Self Realization. I hope this helps in some way.
