It doesn't seem so surprising to me that there doesn't exist a compelling theory for something without a good definition: what is "consciousness"?

Your subjective first person experiences. The what it's like for you to perceive, imagine, remember, dream. The reds, sounds, tastes, smells and feels of your experiences. There are precise philosophical terms for the above. Qualia and phenomenal are two such terms.
