Role of Subconscious and Unconscious States of Mind 2

Enormous varieties of thoughts of mutually contradicting and diversified nature continue flying - like bits of dry leaves in stormy winds, in the domain of conscious mind. Infinite bubbles of emotional excitements and depressions blow and burst on the surface of sentiments almost every cognizable instance of time.

Most people do not even feel the need to control the perpetual fluctuations in the ocean of (consciousness of) mind. Their imaginations and plans too are drawn on the watery surface of mental excitations. The initial enthusiasm with which they initiate their ambitious plans being to wane out soon after taking off. They can hardly take foresights decisions.

Inspiration of improvement and rise do occur in everyone's mind in some point of time or the other. But, hardly a few know how to focus and channelize the powers of mind aroused by these inner impulses. Concentration and control over the conscious mind and creative and righteous use of the intellectual faculties can be accomplished by the deeper sources of mental strength and enlightenment. The hidden forces of the piety, peace and power of the inner self seem to shape the nature of mind.

A wild lion is the king of his forest. Once caught and captured by a ringmaster, this mighty knight is made to dance to the latter's tunes. A somewhat similar is the case of the human mind. In the physically awakened state, the unconscious mind remains suppressed under the dominance of extrovert intellect. The state of deep sleep gives it the liberty to rise and express itself at will. Dreams are expositions of the existence and activities of that unconscious in this free and empowered state.

As all the sense organs remain practically dormant during sleep. One can't experience dreams with clear perception of the audio, visual or vocal expressions, nor can one find a logical reason for a specific type and sequence of reflection in that state. This is why dreams often appears to be a child's game played by the unconscious mind. The latter seems to draw arbitrary sketches from the multicolored memories stored in the stock and display the 'film' of dreams generated at random.
