Emotions are part of the conscious mind, as well as the subconscious. When emotions are involved, the conscious mind is working normally. It is suppression of emotions that is abnormal.
It behaves like a human's mind instead of a computer. Emotions are a normal part of mental processes. We must learn to recognize and deal with them in order to function normally, not try to keep them from intervening....because, try as we may, we can't stop them. Ignoring emotions is like cleaning the kitchen by sweeping everything into the closet. Eventually, someone is going to have to clean the closet, and it is likely to be a real mess.
The mind is often said to consist of the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. The conscious mind is responsible for logical thinking and decision-making, while the subconscious mind controls automatic responses and stores memories, beliefs, and emotions.
The Conscious Mind was created in 1996.
Stimuli. You, reading this is affecting your conscious mind (assuming you're conscious). physical stimuli (the 5 senses) or psychological. if you experience it it affects your mind. (maybe in minor ways, but it effects)
It's estimated that about 5% of our thinking, decision making, and actions are controlled by our conscious mind, while the remaining 95% is influenced by our subconscious mind. This means that a large part of our behaviors, beliefs, and emotions are driven by subconscious processes that we may not be fully aware of.
The human mind is commonly divided into two main sections: the conscious mind, which is responsible for immediate awareness and rational thinking, and the subconscious mind, which operates beneath the surface level of consciousness and influences behavior and emotions.
The conscious level of the mind refers to the thoughts, feelings, and perceptions that individuals are currently aware of and can actively engage with. It represents the tip of the iceberg in terms of mental processes, as much of our cognition occurs below this level in the subconscious and unconscious mind. These deeper levels influence behavior and emotions but operate outside of immediate awareness. Understanding the conscious mind is crucial for processes like decision-making and problem-solving.
Dreams are produced by the subconscious mind during sleep. Dreams reflect the dreamer's emotions, experiences, thoughts and memories. They occur naturally and involuntarily; dreams cannot be "gotten" by the conscious (waking) mind.
I can explain with example that the subconscious mind is like a godown and all the activities and thoughts done by us are stored in this part of mind. Our nature is based on the things(thoughts) stored in the sub conscious mind. We can say that the mind-set is stored in the unconscious mind which is difficult to control by our conscious mind.
A Conscious Mind - 2013 was released on: USA: 4 May 2013
The unconscious (subconscious) mind sorts through emotions, thoughts and experiences of the day while the conscious mind rests in sleep. Different areas of the brain become active in different stages of the sleep cycle, and this activity can be traced in sleep laboratories with computer imaging. Dreams are visualizations produced by the subconscious mind during this sorting process. Dreams also bring old memories to awareness and release tension from pent-up emotions. See attached link.
Sigmund Freud is credited with popularizing the concept of the unconscious mind in psychology. He proposed that the unconscious mind holds thoughts, memories, and feelings that are not readily accessible to conscious awareness but still influence behavior and emotions.
