Why this word is great
COCONSCIOUSNESS — [Noun] An awareness of things on the periphery of one's consciousness that are only brought into focus under certain circumstances. From the prefix co- (meaning "together, jointly") + consciousness (from Latin conscientia, meaning "knowledge within oneself, sense of right and wrong"). Unlike the "subconscious" (a murky reservoir of submerged drives) or the "preconscious" (a tidy anteroom of retrievable memories), coconsciousness is a specific, parallel stream that coexists with the primary conscious state. It is the unheeded hum of traffic noticed only in its absence, the latent knowledge of a loved one's presence in a neighboring room, or the exact texture of a childhood blanket recalled by the smell of rain on hot pavement—a quiet, second mind that bears witness to all that the first has agreed to ignore.
noun
- An awareness of things on the edge of one's consciousness that are only brought into focus under certain circumstances.“Instead of coconsciousness or coconsciousnesses we had then better unite consciousnesses.”
