I agree that is an important trait of human consciousness. If I were
to speculate, I would say the lower level sub-conscious processes of
our brains are conscious in their own right,
Again I think this points to different levels and degrees of
awareness/consciousness that we need to develop a vocabulary to talk
about. I expect that AI research will eventually develop more explicit
definitions of these kinds of thinking processes.

but when these sub processes fail, or disagree, or encounter something
new or unexpected, they can kick it up to other areas of the brain and
when this happens it is noticed by the parts of our brain that can
remember and talk (and thereby convince others as well as oneself)
that we consciously perceived that piece of information, when
otherwise it might not have been promoted to that level of awareness
and thus been forgotten.
