I think it's aliens. The reptiley-lizardy ones.It seems to me I am aware of things happening in my dreams, when I'm dreaming - but since I am not aware that I'm dreaming while I'm dreaming, am I actually aware? Can one be unconsciously aware? Or perhaps we are conscious while we are dreaming?'What does it mean to be "consciously aware"'? Is a good question IMO.
It's obviously not enough to be simply "aware", or it wouldn't need the modifier "consciously".
So I am guessing it's a matter of being aware that you're aware.
I'm all of that, and SO much more.
I am often aware that I am aware that I am aware, even as I maintain an awareness of my awareness.
I imagine there are super-beings - gods, if you like - who are constantly aware that they are aware that they are aware, and may even sometimes be aware that that they are aware that they are aware that they are aware!
Maybe ALL things exist on a spectral continuum of awareness, from dust particles to gods, with muons being the least "aware" and gods holding the greatest number of "aware that they are aware"s after their description! That must be really cool if you're a god.
Anyhow, if that's the case then "consciously aware" is just a relative term.
Awareness is probably just a made-up thing invented by the Hindi to sell more awareness.
ETA: And they wrote Shakespeare, too.
