For me, I think of awareness as applied consciousness. Yet śrī nisarga-datta maharāj , a realized being that lived this daily, says it the other way. He says awareness is the essence (sāra) and from it consciousness arises. I see his point when he suggests wake , dream and sleep comes from or manifests from awareness. Yet I think he also talks of pure awareness and in that case there is no wake, dream or sleep.
Now one must ask does it make a difference? No, as long as one is flexible in their thinking.
