Document Summary
Consciousness awareness (of our external and internal environments: unconscious. Freud most of our thoughts are out of our awareness (thoughts, desires, emotions that may be unacceptable to our conscious mind) Medical our consciousness has been interrupted by some medical condition/trauma but the body may still show some level of reactivity. Subconscious awareness activity and processing that are just beneath the surface of our awareness (dreams, automatic processes) Uncontrolled awareness daydreaming (letting your mind wander), & automatic processing requiring minimal attention (i. e. riding a bike) Controlled awareness where your conscious attention is focused (focusing your attention) Self-awareness metacognition thinking about your own thinking processes: altered states of awareness any mental state that is different from normal (due to fatigue, drugs, trauma, hypnosis, etc. ) Sleep during sleep we are not unconscious, we are in a state of altered consciousness: given that sleep is almost universal in the animal kingdom, it must therefore serve some useful function.
