#hyperconsciousness

[the-ephemeral-ethereal]

The mind can go either direction under stress - toward positive or toward negative: on or off. Think of it as a spectrum whose extremes are unconsciousness at the negative end and hyperconsciousness at the positive end. The way the mind will lean under stress is strongly influenced by training.

from Dune by Frank Herbert

To be hyperconscious is a disease, a real positive disease.

Here are a few of the websites I got some of the information off of:
