In attempting to define "consciousness," we often think in terms of "consciousness of the material world" of the things around us. Sometimes, we compare humans being conscious of people, places, and things, to animals and plants showing sensitivities to sunshine and also to being neglected.
Nuclear physicists and mathematicians have special ways of talking, thinking, and writing equations about "imaginary" probability curves and "imaginary numbers."
Where does "imagination" and "the imaginary" fit into all of this?
Consciousness is the forms perceived through the five senses; an instance of thinking created in mind while imagination is the image-making power of the mind; the act of creating or reproducing ideally an object not previously perceived; it is the ability to create such images.

The assumption of the individuality of consciousness is not a given and imagination may simply be a process of synthesis.
Consciousness is related to awareness which one gets through the senses. Imagination pertains to something that may not be factual yet but may be a possibility in the future.
Imagination is the conscious observation of images that are disassociated from the physical structure of the environment surrounding the observer?
But then again, how is the 'environment surrounding the observer' defined or identified from a practical point of view?
Consciousness are a state of mind where phenomena are experienced.
Imagination is a tool of mind where phenomena do not take a direct part.
But if we place dreams as imagination creator, we can conclude that imagination are not consciousness dependent
Imagination: Things are perceived with "I am" feeling. The perceiver is there. Everything happens in reference to the perceiver. Similar to the scenario when looked at the mirror, both subject and objects are seen. The subject "I am" is there along with the objects. Things are perceived in accordance to the perceiver.
Consciousness: Things are perceived without any thoughts, i.e., without the "I am" feeling. The things are perceived without the ego, i.e., the perceiver. Similar to the scenario when looked at the mirror, only objects are seen, not the subject "I am". Things are perceived as they are.
