A possible explanation has been found here:
http://www.fregger.com/writing/levelsAll.html

'......I became aware of this concept; essentially it says that everyone goes through four basic levels of understanding whenever they learn a new skill, task, or activity. These levels are:

1. Unconsciously Incompetent (don't know they don't know how to accomplish the skill, task or perform the activity
2. Consciously Incompetent (know they don't know how to accomplish the skill, task or perform the activity)
3. Consciously Competent (know how but need to concentrate to perform the skill, task or activity)
4. Unconsciously Competent (know how to accomplish the skill, task or activity without thinking about it).
The Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, Aptos, CA, added a fifth level, starting out with intentionally incompetent. These are people who know they don't know and aren't about to change the situation. This is an interesting concept; however, I would group these people in the consciously incompetent group and define them as those who do not have the motivation to learn the skill, accomplish the task, or perform the activity.

Flemming Funch of the Transformational Processing Institute also uses five levels; however, he adds a level at the end, meta-consciously competent.

Funch's fifth level, meta-consciously competent, differs from unconsciously competent in that the individual is not only capable of doing a skill, task or activity without thinking about it; he is also fully aware, at all times, of what he is doing and why he is doing it. The advantage, according to Funch, is that the individual is now capable of expressing oneself within the activity freely, without barriers, and is also capable of passing this knowledge onto others. This interesting concept touches on a like concept of my own that I believe explains more completely what is going on.'

asker, \\ Metaconscious Competence - Not mentally alert; day dreaming; easily distracted \\

imho this is too short to make sense... can you extend the context?

W, \\ Funch's fifth level, meta-consciously competent, ... \\
this makes sense to me: the individual can control their utilization of consciousness to do the skill/task/activity = they are meta-conscious
