Conscious Experience

Various different connotation of consciousness exist, e.g. phenomenal consciousness, access consciousness, conscious vs. unconscious processing, to name just a few that come to mind.

We could use the term "conscious experience" to pick out a specific notion of consciousness, e.g. as in the following definition.

Idea for Definition v1

A promising choice is to use somewhat phenomenological terminology in defining the term conscious experience, referring to the totality of how experience 'reveals itself' to an experiencing subject, how the experiencing subject finds itself experiencing, or how the "the world" appears to it.

One could opt for a more approachable terminology and define the term conscious experience to denote totality of impressions, feelings, thoughts, perceptions, etc. which an experiencing subject lives through at a particular instant of time.
