The difficulty for the idealist is getting from the infinite, the indefinite, to the finite and definite. You could deny that this ever needs to happen, or you could view it as necessitated by the result, but from the side of the infinite, of the total awareness none of these seem to carry any weight. A mirror image of this problem is that of the materialist or finitist going to the infinite. Again, you could deny it ever happens, claim it's all an illusion, but this involves you in endless epicycles. Curiously, the idealist's problem is parallel to that of the quantum theorist explaining collapse. It can be denied as ever happening, or it can be assumed because that's just what is experienced, but this ignores the question of where the 'idea' came from in the first place.
