We're only aware of consciousness because we are conscious. Are there similar conceivable phenomena?

I've been thinking about annihilation, and the prospect of eliminating consciousness from the universe. If this happened, there would be an entire universe just sitting there empty (in a sense), waiting to be inhabited by consciousness, perhaps without it ever coming. It was theoretically possible (unless necessitarianism is true) for consciousness never to emerge in the universe at all.

This line of thought led me to wonder if there were any other phenomena, besides consciousness, that are out there waiting to manifest or emerge that no one/nothing is aware of because it doesn't (yet) exist. (Maybe I shouldn't have used "aware", because awareness is the sort of thing I'm talking about, but hopefully you get the idea.)

Am I at a dead end? Has there been any philosophizing done on this topic? Should I give up on trying to conceptualize something this abstract?

Think of it like humor. The concept of humor would seem totally alien to something that didn't have it. But what if there's another emotion called Gnorfy that is equally alien that we do not yet have? And certain things would make you feel gnorfy, but we have no conception of such a thing as of yet.
