'unconsciousness' isn't really a good word to take literally as a negation of 'being conscious'. Taken literally, an animal is 'unconscious' when it's asleep, you've hit it on the head really hard, shot it with a tranq, and it's awake and hunting...
That said, there's still a bit of question about the relationship between memory and consciousness in humans. See the suggestive mentions of trauma & PTSD-like symptoms in http://lesswrong.com/lw/8wi/inverse_pzombies_the_other_direction_in_the_hard/
Every one of my PTSD symtoms appears to be in remission except scanning, which may just be due to a paranoid personality. PTSD symptoms emrergen when I swell on them in therapy though...so Im not going to do that. Not cause of avoidance coping just caus I don't need to bother with that. It's the past.
