unconscious
Unconscious refers to the state of not being awake and aware of one's surroundings or sensations, often due to illness, injury or sleep. It can also pertain to the mental processes of which an individual is not aware. These unconscious processes can influence one's feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. In psychology, the unconscious mind often carries memories, desires, or fears that may not be readily accessible to the conscious mind but can still influence behavior and emotions.

It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself—anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face ... was itself a punishable offense. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: facecrime ...
Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, 1903:
The unconscious self is the real genius. Your breathing goes wrong the moment your conscious self meddles with it.
