I feel that the multiverse somehow has it's own laws of "physics" that force consciousness to come about.To address your question in the OP; short answer: yes.
Long answer: the consciousness or consciousnesses are physical phenomena, naturally occurring biological processes that arise from one’s own brain chemistry that exist within reality, consciousness is dependant upon matter, cosmos and the universe, conversely the universe is independent of minds to perceive them, to argue contrariwise, that the universe requires a mind is to argue for Solipsism which is an asinine waste of time and effort as the egocentric view flies in the face of everything we've come to learn and understand about what is real i.e. existence.
