The subconscious in all it's glory is a very opaque and not well understood.... concept?
We have theories but not much concrete evidence of anything.
We cannot really put our heads around consciousness. "The conscious conundrum."
I am firm believer in the subconscious regardless of what facts are present at which are not.
I also believe that you are mingling with your subconscious in a lucid dream.

There is so much to learn. We are only scratching the surface. But that is the exhilarating part. So much to learn and experience.
MY dreams never cease to amaze me. My subconscious is ALWAYS putting a new face on and old canvas.
