Because, whether we are immediately brought into the presence of Christ, or, at another extreme, we are unaware of anything until the resurrection, our realization is that we are "with Christ." The verse does not explain.

Then how do you explain Samuel being brought up from the dead to talk to Saul. He was aware of Saul's impending death and many other things.
How do you explain Moses and Elijah appearing with Jesus on the Mount of transfiguration?
How do you explain the verses that says Jesus preached to those in Tartarus, they were aware of what was happening.
How do you explain the rich man being tormented asking to go talk to his brothers?
Where do you make this stuff up? Why do you teach beyond what is written in the Bible.
