Consciousness of consciousness—the capacity to be aware of one's own awareness, to reflect on the nature and contents of conscious experience. Metaconsciousness encompasses self-awareness (knowing that one is conscious), [introspective] access (observing one's own mental states), and reflective [understanding] (thinking about what consciousness is and means). It's what enables us to notice that we're dreaming (lucid dreaming), to observe our own emotions without being consumed by them (mindfulness), to question the nature of our own experience ([philosophical] reflection). Metaconsciousness is consciousness doubled back on itself—awareness aware of being aware, experience experiencing itself. It's the foundation of self-knowledge, spiritual practice, and the distinctively human capacity to wonder what it means to be conscious at all.
