Subconscious Conscious-Memory Access

How does your subconscious mind access conscious memory data?

By conscious-memory data, I mean neurological memories which have been influenced by your conscious mind. By conscious mind, I mean consciously aware focus. Focus seems to be quite relevant, as I further explained in a post from 2 weeks ago; Fundamental Focus, regarding focus for both incoming data from your senses, and on pre-saved memory data during times of conscious thought. For more detail on what I mean by “conscious thought”, see a summary post from early last yr; Conscious Comprehension. 

Subconscious access to this memory data, which has been influenced by conscious focus, should be quite different than if the data had not been influenced by conscious focus. Conscious focus seems to cause an entirely different flow to neurological memory data. For 1 thing, it causes more prioritized memories to be saved when an experience 1st occurs. With more prioritized data (perceived through the senses), this causes an ease of electrical flow to more particular neural combinations (which represent memories). With more focus on certain factors saved in memory, the brain will be more likely to access those factors, rather than the less defined data which your subconscious would have saved otherwise (as further explained in another post from 2 weeks ago; Conscious Subconscious Memory Access). 

Secondly, the focus during later thought processes, causes a similar effect, of ease of electrical flow to neural combos representing more accurate factors within memory. As I further explained in a post from last month; Conscious Neural Combo, conscious focus on factors during thought processes, seemingly causes new neural links between neural combos of factors, which creates macro combinations. These new neurological connections and combinations would not only be more probable to be accessed during conscious thought, but also during subconscious thought. 

Considering the subconscious mind function to be basically a faster method of accessing fewer and more basic memories, in order to cause a reaction, after the influence of conscious focus, it will now have all new neural pathways and combos to access quickly. Examples of times that a person uses subconscious mind function, would be circumstances involving quick reaction time (such as fast paced sports, or quick driving reactions), or dreaming, or being drunk. During these times, the subconscious mind should be caused to quickly access memories which were articulated through previous conscious focus. I explained more detail of the difference in method of subconscious mind function, in a post from early this yr; Subconscious Subjection. This function is likely the method for almost all animals all the time, but humans have the influencing effect of conscious focus.

With the advantage of times of conscious comprehension, effective combinations of the interaction between factors, can be saved as a macro combinations, for use of the subconscious mind. For eg, in soccer, my regular subconscious reaction, when an opposing player rushes me, while I have the ball, is to just quickly kick the soccer ball in the direction of the opposing goal. But with conscious comprehension, I can comprehend that I should stay calm and control the ball to make a more accurate pass. If I save the neural combo required, which represents the memories for the comprehension of the interaction of those factors involved, then at future times, my subconscious will be able to quickly access that neural combo, allowing me to quickly react by controlling the ball, rather than kicking it in a panic. Another eg, could be that anyone can consciously comprehends that driving while drunk is dangerous. If you save that as a neural combo, which is reinforced for easy neural access, then even while in the subconscious state of being drunk, you are more likely to access that same neural combo, and react by not driving when you need to get somewhere. 

Without the subconscious being influenced by previous conscious focus, humans likely wouldn't be able to put even 2 words together at times of being drunk or dreaming. Conscious focus is what allows so many words of language to be saved as shortcuts in memory, to the relative concepts or factors associated with each word. Once the required combinations of neurons, for memories of words, have been consciously saved, the subconscious mind can access those same memories with ease. Combinations of words (such as phrases) are also likely saved as macro combinations for the subconscious to access, without the need for conscious thought. This may explain why it seems that in dreams, only basic words or phrases tend to occur. Since dreaming is a subconscious mind state, the mind can’t make complex new relations between words (or concepts), because of the lack of comprehension of interaction between factors, but the mind can still use pre-existing neural combos, created through previous conscious thought. 

The function of the subconscious mind seems to be significantly influenced in which memories to access, as a result of consciously pre-articulated neural pathways and combinations. The influence of conscious focus is likely to cause the benefit of quick subconscious access to more effective and accurate memories (created from times of comprehension of cause and effect), during those times of Subconscious Conscious-Memory Access.
