Conscious and awareness are two words that can be easily mixed up into one. After reading about it, I am still having difficulty comprehending it. It’s just like understanding the difference between character and personality. Through many discussions with friends I have come to the understanding that character is displayed by personality. Without personality, there would be no character.
If you were to look for the synonym of the word conscious, you would find aware. If you were to do the same with aware you will find conscious. If you look up the synonym for character, you would find personality; and vice versa. Consciousness and awareness can be intertwined.
For example, sleep is an example of the distinction between consciousness and awareness. While we are sleep, our conscious is turned off; however, we are aware of sounds. If the sound has any significance, our consciousness turns back on, and makes us aware of the sound. Sleepers wouldn’t wake up to a conversation, but they would wake up to their name. As a result, when we are aware of something, we are conscious of it.
