According to Freud, the preconscious forms over time to separate the unconcious, the system which wishes, from the conscious, the system which is paying attention. The preconscious has always existed, but it grows over time. The preconscious is operating when you're remembering rather than paying attention. It stores the memories that you remember (as opposed to the unconscious, which remembers things that you had never remembered, say, things that happened when you were a one-year-old). At night, the preconscious wants to rest too, and the censor between the unconscious and preconscious can prevent the motility that the unconscious wants. Other than that, though, the censor is ineffective at night, so the preconscios must limit the unconscious. It distorts the dream. The unconscious wants you to stay asleep, but it wants to show its wish as being fulfilled. However, in order to get around the preconscious as much as possible, it often must disguise its wish-fulfillment as something harmless. If the unconscious does not hide its harmful wish-fulfillment well enough, then the preconscious will make it look like you don't want the wish to be fulfilled, and then the anxiety might cause you to wake up for a moment.

The preconscious mind is the part of our consciousness that holds memories and thoughts that are not currently in our awareness but can be easily accessed and brought into conscious awareness. It acts as a gateway between the unconscious and conscious mind, allowing for quick retrieval of information.

What part of brain controls waking up?
The psychologist Sigmund Freud writes that dreams come from the mind, not the brain. He says that dreams come from wishes that a part of the mind called the unconscious is wishing for. If these wishes came true, they would result in some kind of movement (a wish of food could be fulfilled by the movement of walking to the fridge, opening it, pulling out some food, and eating it). However, a censor between the unconscious and the preconscious (another part of the mind) won't let this wish result in movement. So the best that the wish can do is to show itself as being fulfilled. But the preconscious mind often has trouble with seeing this wish be fulfilled because it's an inappropriate wish (eg sexual wishes, wishes to be punished and hurt). So the preconscious mind distorts the dream, making it look bizaare and incomprehensible. If the unconsioucs wish is still too inappropriate, then the preconscious mind will cause you to wake up. To avoid this, the unsconscious tricks the preconscious by "adopting" a harmless wish to be fulfilled, which the preconscious will have no problem with. But this harmless wish is disguising the inappropriate wish, which can never be fully defeated. To summarize: The unconscious wish struggles to overcome resistance from the censor and the preconscious mind, and this struggle crafts the dream from its original wish-fulfillment.

What is the difference between the subconscious and preconscious?
These are pretty much the same idea, however preconscious is the only accepted word to describe unsupressed information that exists just below our consciousness. Subconscious is and was used to refer to the same thing, but different people where able to define "sub" in different ways, "before", "under", "less than", "below", so "pre" was used instead because its definition is more precise and unique, "before" consciousness.
When you sleep at night you have dreams does these dreams has any message from Allah to you?
No. Dreams begin with an excitement (distrubance, thought) in the unconcious mind. This excitement is usually an unconscious though, which, to escpe opposition, joins with a silly, harmless thought. The excitement wants to result in movement, but a censor, between the unconscious mind and preconscious mind, will not let it. It tries to escape through the preconscious mind, but the preconscious mind, which wants you to wake up, will not let it do that either. During this time, the preconscious mind distorts the dream, so that it makes no sense, and deviates from the original thought. Then the excitement turns around. It heads to the memory centers, which construct relationships between things that have been sensed. As it travls bacwards through the memory centers, the dream's logical relationships are lost. Finally, the dream is seen. This process is very mechanical. Throughout it, Allah, or any other divine ruler that one might believe in, does not intervene. The message that can be understood by the dream is that you can figure out what the original excitement was in the unconscious mind. However, Allah, or God, does provide us with other messages that we feel when we aren't asleep. These tell us to serve others, and to be kind to them.
