 Unconscious mind - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Popper claimed that Freud's theory of the unconscious was not falsifiable.
A distinction needs to be made between "The Unconscious" (or the unconscious mind or subconscious), which are concepts in psychoanalysis and related fields, and unconscious or nonconscious events in the mind, which are of great interest in cognition and perception.
This is not the same as the unconsciousness or state of "being unconscious", such as when a person is asleep.

 The Unconscious Mind
The unconscious mind is not a thing in itself; instead, it is simply the psychological processes (and the archetypal-field elements) of which we are not aware at any moment.

 Jiddu Krishnamurti on the Unconscious Mind
But we are unconscious of this, unconscious that we are slaves to certain forms of tradition, to social and political environment, to false values.
The unconscious mind is much more powerful, much more insistent much more directive and conservative than the conscious mind; because the conscious is merely the educated mind which adjusts itself to the environment.
The analysts think that the unconscious can be partially or even completely cleansed through analysis - through investigation, exploration, confession, the interpretation of dreams, and so on - so that at least you become a `normal' human being, able to adjust yourself to the present environment.

 Sigmund Freud [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
He articulated and refined the concepts of the unconscious, of infantile sexuality, of repression, and proposed a tri-partite account of the mind's structure, all as part of a radically new conceptual and therapeutic frame of reference for the understanding of human psychological development and the treatment of abnormal mental conditions.
Turning away from his early attempts to explore the unconscious through hypnosis, Freud further developed this 'talking cure', acting on the assumption that the repressed conflicts were buried in the deepest recesses of the unconscious mind.
The task of psychoanalysis as a therapy is to find the repressions which are causing the neurotic symptoms by delving into the unconscious mind of the subject, and by bringing them to the forefront of consciousness, to allow the ego to confront them directly and thus to discharge them.

Libet also argues that it is meaningful to speak of the "unconscious mind." Many who argue that consciousness is not reducible to the brain would nevertheless accept that the unconscious is reducible to the brain.

The point is that, by definition, it is not possible to be aware at the time of an action those that are unconscious.

 Shadow (psychology) - Free Encyclopedia of Thelema
In Jungian psychology, the shadow is a part of the unconscious mind which is mysterious and often disagreeable to the conscious mind, but which is also relatively close to the conscious mind.
Jung described this bottom layer as "a psychic activity which goes on independently of the conscious mind and is not dependent even on the upper layers of the unconscious - untouched, and perhaps untouchable - by personal experience" (Campbell, 1971).
The shadow's appearance and role depend greatly on individual idiosyncrasies, because the shadow develops in the individual's mind rather than simply being inherited in the collective unconscious.
