1. 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.

Examples of unconscious in a Sentence

1. Sigmund Freud:

   When making a decision of minor importance, I have always found it advantageous to consider all the pros and cons.

In the important decisions of personal life, we should be governed, I think, by the deep inner needs of our nature.
