Consciousness means intensity or degree of awareness.
There can be many categories of it by varying degree
of awareness. Sigmund Freud divided consciousness
into 3 categories:
1. Conscious
2. Sub-conscious
3. Un-conscious
We perform many activities unconsciuosly like:
-our heart ping pongs
-our hairs and nails growing
-digesting food
-flowing blood
We aren't aware how all this goes.However, we can achieve
control over these processes by increasing our conscious
levels by several methods.
This is not limited to our body only, we are almost 99%
unaware of infinite activities in whole universe.
Layers of conscious states:
An example -
I am writing in englsh at this moment. But my other
tongue is hindi. At present there is almost no word
of hindi in my consciuos mind.
This means that consciousness has several layers
which can be varied by varying degree of awareness.
When we dream, whatever happens in dream is
meaningless with respect to normal consciousness,
In the same fashion our normal consciousness is
meaningless with respect to higher conscious levels.
It is perfectly possible that what we call "normal
consciuosness" is merely a dream.

Consciousness is something more:
1: It is energy in its raw.
2: It is awareness of its own energy.
3: When this awareness start referring to self create datum, it becomes the spirit.
West doesn't know much about Consciousness. Sigmund Freud is even unborn before the Spiritual Giants of East.
