Condition or state of being unaware of surroundings, with the inability to respond to stimuli.

In Freudian terms, the largest part of our mind of which we are unaware. The unconscious contains our instincts, passions, fears and traumas. These form the basis of neuroses such as hysterias, phobias, compulsions, anxieties and panic disorders.

A central psychic zone defined by Freudian psychology. For Sigmund Freud, human behavior are driven by forces of the unconscious. To varying degrees all three components of the human psyche -- the id, the ego, and the superego -- all work in the unconscious.

All psychic contents or processes that are not conscious.

A state of unawareness without sensation or thought. In psychoanalytic theory, it is the part of the personality, in particular the id impulses, or id energy, of which the ego is unaware.

That part of the human psyche not directly available to the conscious Ego. It comprises the Collective Unconscious, and the Personal Unconscious.

This word has multiple meaning. In spiritual terms this has to do with a lack of awareness or spiritual sleep, though one may be fully awake by normal standards.

In physical terms it means that state in which we cannot be consciously aroused.

That part of the mind or mental functioning of which the content is only rarely subject to awareness. It is a repository for data that have never been conscious (primary repression) or that may have been conscious and are later repressed (secondary repression).

the mind which is the seat of our imagination, memories, emotions, dreams, behaviours, creativity and which takes care of numerous functions without conscious awareness, such as breathing or walking. Our sub/unconscious mind is the larger part of an iceberg, that which is deeper and larger than the tip, which is the conscious mind.

Not conscious : incapable of responding to sensory stimuli

Interruption of awareness of oneself and one's surroundings, lack of the ability to notice or respond to stimuli in the environment. A person may become unconscious due to oxygen deprivation, shock, central nervous system depressants such as alcohol and drugs, or injury. In psychology, that part of thought and emotion that happens outside everyday awareness.

The hidden part of the mind, which is believed to house memories of forgotten events, as well as archetypal images from ancient times. The unconscious is usually inaccessible, even to the individual, without the use of processes such as dreams, hypnosis or meditation that can bring the memories to the surface. The Tarot has been known to reawaken these memories as well.

That portion of the psyche which is outside conscious awareness. The unconscious expresses itself in dreams, fantasies, obsessive preoccupations, slips of the tongue and accidents of all kinds. Jung distinguishes two layers of the unconscious: the personal unconscious derived from one's own experience, and the collective unconscious containing the universal pat terns and images called archetypes.© Daryl Sharp.
