Is the plural of consciousness consciousnesses? 🤔 (when talking about multiple mass consciousnesses at once)

It is. Though it might be better to try to revise the sentence/wording to make the masses plural, since it's not a common word. What's the sentence?

don't have one yet, but I kinda like the sound of awkward plurals even if I have to invent them like gollum and his hobbitses

Without entering into ontological dualism it wouldn't be coherent to attempt to circumscribe consciousness, so plural wouldn't make sense either. Everything is a single consciousness or consciousness is illusory. I'd rethink your word choice.
