There isn't much to say. Cases in which people talk about things they see, hear, think about, etc. are paradigmatic use cases for learning the phrase "conscious of". It doesn't follow (as a logical deduction) that you're conscious of that of which you speak, but we'd need a really good reason against, to cast doubt on it.
