Jody,
Good point. And we actually are conscious of only the minutest
fraction of the reality around us at any time.

I learned a lot about my own mind about two years ago when I had minor

the doctor
talking to me immediately after I woke up. After the surgery I woke
up and
asked where the doctor was. Sure enough I was told she had been
there and
she told me everything was all right. I thought this was incredible
because
I had no memory of it at all. I laughed and asked the nurse what I
had said.
She said I was very relieved and had thanked the doctor many times.
Well,
at least I was in character.
I went home and I really thought about this. If you can have lapses in
memory and not know it, then what IS your consciousness? Certainly
NOT as
concrete as we might like.
