Also needs 'I have no way of knowing for sure because maybe that's just what my brain wants me to think'.

For some reason I read "conscious" as "couscous"... and I'd like that to be my answer.

I answered no. I'm actually writing this from another dimension where thought and matter are one and the same.

Dammit I really want some couscous now!

 

As for the question at hand: Probably. But I guess it's always possible that my entire existence is actually an elaborate but incredibly boring dream.

Since I have just spent five minutes staring into space, trying to remember the thing I was supposed to be thinking, I voted no.

I'm a couscous:P, but seriously consciousness seems to be a non-existing thing. I'm just much more complicated than things some people call "unconscious"

Depends.

Conscious

-Con-scious-

adj 1. Having an awareness of one's environment and one's own existence, thoughts, and sensations

adj 2. mentally perceptive, alert, or awake.

adj 3. capable of thought, will, or perception.

 

So in some ways yes, always, in other's only sometimes, or partly.

It doesn't really make much of a difference, does it?

 

All I know is that being awake is different than being asleep, for example. Yet maybe the state in which we are during sleep is consciousness...

As conscious as I can be. My brain told me I'm conscious but maybe my brain is just a liar.

 

Brains – mine included – deceive us regularily.

Need an easy and quick example? Think of the last dream in which you weren't aware it was a dream (aka non-lucid). Dreams are accepted as reality at the time they happen in your head. Reality could just as well be (as stated before) a very elaborate dream-like experience.

 

Maybe consciousness doesn't exist at all and reality including our thoughts is scripted and ultimately only serves one purpose which likely nobody on this planet will ever find out. Or it was scripted in a way which prevents us of getting there.

Spoiler

It could be just an extremely detailed simulation which needs to advance to a certain point.

– Made by unknown.

Our consciousness could just as well be influenced by our hard-wired organic programming and events happening in our surroundings to the extent of actually being non-conscious beings, but under the impression of the thoughts that are triggered in us "conscious". A mental butterfly effect with a side effect basically.

 

And with this thought-fuel, I shall leave this thread.

 

Tell me if you figured out the question and then the answer to it. :P

Yes very much so on a daily basis, unless I get sick which is very rare.
