Subjective knowledge is a kind of knowledge.

It is a state of memory, characterised by absence of mutual consensus about the contents of the memory, among other individuals or intelligent entities.

Subjective knowledge arises out of Subjective Experiences.

Usually others have no access to this knowledge. However, it can be communicated to the other. Others can, in most cases, experience something similar. There is consensus about these similarities, to some extent, which is much less that that of Objective Knowledge.

Knowledge of experiences like pain and pleasure, emotions, thoughts, imagination and desires etc can be classified as subjective knowledge. Knowledge of dreams or any other nonphysical states is also subjective. These experiences are conveyed via internal senses.

It can be called private knowledge.

An important point to note here is that - all knowledge is subjective. There is no objective knowledge. This is because all knowledge is based on experience, and all experience is subjective.
