collective. The personal unconscious is unique to the individual and contains repressed thoughts and emotions. The collective unconscious is a shared, inherited reservoir of human experiences and archetypes.
Carl Jung believed that people are influenced by the collective unconscious, which consists of universal symbols and archetypes that shape human experiences and behavior. He also believed that individuals are influenced by their personal unconscious, which contains hidden or repressed thoughts, memories, and desires.
Some key elements of Carl Jung's theory include the collective unconscious, archetypes, personal and collective unconscious, and the concept of individuation. Jung believed that individuals were driven by more than personal experiences and desires, but also by inherited symbols and motifs that are present in all human psyches.
Freudian preconscious represents the elements that are unconscious but not repressed. Pre-consciousness is the reservoir of everything we can remember. This would fall into Jung's category of the personal unconscious. Although repressed memories, unwanted characteristics of the personality (the shadow) are also present in it. I've seen Jung make use of the "subconscious" as part of personal unconscious, that which lies close to the threshold of consciousness.
Racial memory or brain hard wiring are terms sometimes used.
Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung proposed the concept of the collective unconscious. He believed that this shared, universal reservoir of experiences and symbols represents a deeper layer of the unconscious mind that is common to all humans.

collective unconscious
From the personal unconscious, which is the level directly beneath consciousness, and is the level which has been influenced by the individual's life. And also from the collective unconscious, which is a deeper level which the individual was born with.

The personal unconscious is where suppressed or ignored aspects of the individual are housed. This layer is just below consciousness, and as a general rule, is easily accessed. The collective unconscious is a deeper layer, which houses aspects of the person that are not related to the experiences of his life.
Jung thought that people share collective unconscious, appearing archetype, including mythology, and symbols and patterns that appear in dreams. He also theorized that there is a female element in the unconscious of men -- the anima -- and a male element in the unconscious of women -- the animus. Jung believed that extroversion and introversion with four functions (thinking, feeling, sensing and intuition) were integral in the study of personality types. The aim of individuation is wholeness, through the integration of unconscious forces and motivations underlying human behavior. During it, the human "I" (Ego) deals with Persona in conscious, and faces the Shadow, Anima/Animus and Self archetype in unconscious.
Jung's concept of the collective unconscious suggests that certain symbols and archetypes are shared by all humans, representing universal themes and memories that are inherited rather than learned. These memories are believed to influence our thoughts, behaviors, and experiences on a deeper level beyond our personal conscious awareness.

Freudian psychoanalysis assumes that the repressed material hidden in the unconscious is given by repressed sexual instincts, Analytical psychology has a more general approach. There is no preconceived assumption about the unconscious material. The unconscious, for Jungian analysts, may contain repressed sexual drives, but also aspirations, fears, etc.
