Not conscious there's a new aura about (7)

I believe the answer is:

unaware

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'not conscious' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'there's a new aura about' is the wordplay.
'there's' says to put letters next to each other.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'new' put next to 'aura' is 'newaura'.
'newaura' is an anagram of 'UNAWARE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for unaware that I've seen before include "Not knowing (of a situation or fact)" , "Unwitting, not knowing" , "Ignorant, oblivious" , "Ignorant - unacquainted" , "Not realising" .)
