Well, we are aware of our awareness. I would say that to the extent that something responds to its surroundings and modifies its behavior accordingly, that would seem to indicate awareness.
In our case, we are even aware of our awareness and consciously make choices to enhance it, or at least we can and sometimes do.
Sometimes we even confuse ourselves so much that we learn how to ignore a basically sound observation.
