Consciousness doesn't exist independently or on a plane. In Theravada Buddhism, consciousness is explained as one of the five aggregates: physical aggregate (all physical forms) and mental aggregates (feeling, perception, thought, and consciousness). These five aggregates are interdependent and don't arise without others.
