Wut? Yes consciousness is the experience of consciousness happening. Consciousness is experiential in nature and experiences happen in your brain.

You mean so long as one is merely conscious of pursuing dinner or a mate or a sunset, no consciousness yet. But when one pauses to consider "hmm, it is I that am conscious of stuff" - then that is consciousness? I don't think so.
