What is your definition of consciousness?

Mine is the ability to see a probabilistic future and maybe make decisions about that future. Under that defination all matter is conscience due to its quantum probalistic nature.

Having an experience of the color red, for example.

I think I'd call what you're describing executive functioning.

I'd imagine one could experience things w/out having any notion about the future, or even an ability to make decisions.

How do you define "experience"?
What happens to you when you're conscious or dreaming.
