Philosophers have defined consciousness, why do people keep repeating that line? Your subjective sensations that make up perception, dreams, inner dialog, that sort of thing. Call it qualia, representations or correlations, but we all experience colors, sounds, tastes, pains, pleasures. We all probably dream, most of us visualize or have inner dialog. It's not that hard to define, it's only because of the ambiguity of the word where it's conflating whether other mental activity like being awake or being aware.
