What Is Consciousness?

The definition of consciousness is founded on an assumption that we, as a human being are conscious or have consciousness. And this is the primary mistake, and i see it rehearsed over and over and over again in a phil of mind circles. It is only consciousness is conscious. Consciousness has everything else. So to speak, nothing has consciousness. The dreamer imagines within their own minds the dreamed world but they do not perceive the dreamed world directly from, unmediated, from the perspective of their own mind. When the dream character looks out at the world, they see a world that is independent of their volition, separate from them,. That obviously precedes them and outlasts them.
