The Subconscious - what? (Awareness, Dreams, and other shit)
Ok this is a quick and sloppy little theory that I have been forming in my head for a while. I am not convinced that the conscious and the sub conscious are two separate entities. It makes sense to me to refer to it as one whole thing.
So what is that thing that makes you do things without thinking about them? What makes you say things unexpectedly? That's your consciousness of course, but who says that all that shit has to be uncontrollable?
I'm thinking of the subconscious as an adjustable line in the middle of your consciousness that either limits or expands to adjust to your awareness. What is awareness? It's your eyes turned inward at yourself, asking questions and finding out exactly what it is that you're doing. It's self-honesty and lack of denial. It's accepting everything that goes on.
To sum it up, I propose that the more aware you are of yourself and the more honest you are with yourself (and others) the less of a subconscious you have. It makes sense to me, being aware of everything that goes on.
Dreams? What are those? I don't dream often at all. When I do dream, it is because of discomfort, which is mostly physical. I can't link dreams and subconscious, honestly, because they dont exist within me.
Now I'm not saying "This is how you should live your life" because quite honestly the world would get bored out of it's mind if it worked like I do. It's all just my theory about how things work. I need to get some more subjects to study and question to be sure.
