Consciousness is the state of being awake? haha. Idk, tough question. You know you are conciousness because all your senses are being felt by yourself. In a dream-like state you don't really feel everything you kind of just see it.
JGaines, True but there is no way of knowing if the worldy events are real or just in your imagination so a person has no way of proving that they are conscious
Consciousness is when a person is aware of his or her surrounding. He or she is aware of how their actions will affect themselves and the people around them. You know you're conscious because you you can see how your actions affect others. Also the actions that you commit can also affect you internally.
Margee if you have higher brain function to have an imagination you posses the capacity to realize your conscious. Consciousness can be seen through our actions. If we assume we are in a dream world nothing would ever get done.
If you base your definition of conciousness soley around being able to interpret the world around you then there is no distinguishable diffrence between dream and reality. It is the ability to both interpret and alter ones surroundings that causes one to be considered concious.
JGaines, I didn't mean assume a dream world. I meant assume things are real...THANK YOU SPOTTS. All I said was that there is no way of actually proving that anything around you is actually real or just in your imagination.
Well I didnt read through everyones but it seems that a underline theme is the idea of sense, but earlier we talked about sleep paraylsis where u are awake but cannot see, hear, feel, smell, or do any movement. I've never had it but I think you are still conscious and aware of it without being able to have any sense.
I conciousness, believe its an old wooden ship used in the civil war era.
However, according to dictionary.com it is defined as: the state of being conscious; awareness of one's own existence, sensations, thoughts, surroundings, etc.
consciousness is the little jimminey cricket in all of us. It tells us fom right and wrong and allows us to think and have a feeling of self awareness.
Jeff, if I wanted the definition I would have asked you to look it up. I want your opinion.
Ryan - you are confusing consciousness with conscience. Conscience is your moral inner voice, your Jiminy Cricket. We want to know what consciousness is.
so, is consciousness just having physical sensation? Is a jelly fish than conscious? It has no brain or nervous system, so as far as we can tell it can't "feel" in the traditional sense. So does it have consciousness? Does a lobster than have consciousness because it does have a brain and nervous system?
i dont think having a brain is the main source of having consciousness...i think its just knowing how to survive and knowing your surrondings...even if you do it through touch
I agree with everyone which is basically that consciousness is being self aware of your surroundings, and knowing you are alive. You know you are conscious when you have complete control of your body and can control the decisions you make. Once that control is gone, you are no longer conscious.
Conciousness is when you are, awake, alert and aware of your surroundings. You know your concious because your in the state of mind that you know everything thats goin on around you.
Consciousness is when you are aware of yourself and what you are doing. you kno you are conscious when you are aknowledge of your existance and you can interpret the things around you
Consciousness is when a person is alve and they are aware, and can observe who or what is around them. You are conscious if you can move and your brain is still functioning.
y do they make the two words so similar but have completely different meanings.. i hate that.. it always messes me up... gosh mr. paulson i rly like pinochio too... and jiminy. u just ruined the movie for me

You cannot know anything around you is real. You can only assume.

people assume things are real and it makes them believe some things are real

consciousness is when you know an believe the things around you are really there. One knows they are conscious if everything around them is real.
kinda disturbing, but i guess that's true. Like how can u prove it's reality?
something is real when we perceive it to be real. are you saying the table in front of you isnt real?

Margee this is not the MATRIX, I am pretty sure that this computer that I am typing on is REALL
Sniping Ryan out, I think consciousness and your conscience are two diffrent things.
Human consciousness is a cerebral ability with inputs from the approximately 50,000 million cells that constitute an adult body.
val, what is sleep paralysis?
is it when you wake up but you cant move?
Consciousness is being awake and receptive to your surroundings/existence.
you know you are conscious if you like know what is going on, which ties back to what Kevin said of being self aware
consciousness is being able to think. it is knowing that you exist. you know that you are conscious because you are thinking about this question
Conciousness is being able to think coherently, and be able to know what's going on in your surroundings.
so, is consciousness just having physical sensation? Is a jelly fish than conscious? It has no brain or nervous system, so as far as we can tell it can't "feel" in the traditional sense. So does it have consciousness? Does a lobster than have consciousness because it does have a brain and nervous system?
being aware of your existance...your surroundings
i dont think having a brain is the main source of having consciousness...i think its just knowing how to survive and knowing your surrondings...even if you do it through touch
how do you "know" anything without a brain?
I agree with everyone which is basically that consciousness is being self aware of your surroundings, and knowing you are alive.
You know you are conscious when you have complete control of your body and can control the decisions you make. Once that control is gone, you are no longer conscious.
Well Mr. Paulson, how does a jellyfish survive without "knowing" its surroundings?
that is a good question Bobby, it calls into question the definition of the word "knowing"
Consciousness is self awareness. It's the ability recognize that you are your own living entity.
You know you're conscious by realizing that you exist and think on your own accord.
Consciousness is the ability to ponder a question or situation, such as, "am I conscious?".
Conciousness is when you are, awake, alert and aware of your surroundings. You know your concious because your in the state of mind that you know everything thats goin on around you.
Consciousness is being very aware of your own existence in life.
is tht when you have the devil and the angel in ur head and they tell u what to do??
yes, jess, thats exactly what it is
yea thts wat i thought it was
jess, that is conscience, not consciousness
Consciousness is when you are aware of yourself and what you are doing. you kno you are conscious when you are aknowledge of your existance and you can interpret the things around you
Consciousness is how aware of what is going on around you. It shows how it effects yourselves and others.
Consciousness is when a person is alve and they are aware, and can observe who or what is around them. You are conscious if you can move and your brain is still functioning.
so in pinochio y does the little cricket say he is his conciousness and he tells him wats good and bad
Because Pinochio is a puppet, not a real boy
Jiminy Cricket tells Pinocchio that he is his conscience, not his consciousness
Consciousness is being aware of your surroundings and your life.
You know you are conscious if you can understand the world around you and know your position in life.
geez mr. paulson when was the last time u watched this movie??
khiggz, i agree with you
you dont always have to understand your surrondings..
consciousness is when u are aware of everyting around you and you control what is going on
Consciousness is when you are aware of what is going on around you. I know that I am conscious because all of my i am aware of whats going on.
