The words "Conscious" and "unconscious" to describe thought states is like trying to cram an array of ints into a boolean. I always saw my mind as a collection of states ranging from "Front and center, obvious when I'm wide awake" to "mysterious process I cannot control". Like night time brain optimization strategies, night time breathing, squeeze-loosening process to get the small intestine to flow, etc.

We need a better resolution picture of "Conscious" and "Unconscious".
