Vocabulary
UNCONSCIOUS (n) vs SUBCONSCIOUS (n)
This is what i've got from dictionary:
The UNconscious =(psychology) The part of a person’s mind with thoughts, feelings, etc. that they are not aware of and cannot control but which can sometimes be understood by studying their behaviour or dreams
===
The part of your mind that contains feelings that you are not aware of
=> Both seem to be "the part of a person's mind" and "not awared of".
Could someone please tell me what the difference btw UNconscious and SUBconscious is.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Unconscious. 'un' means 'not', a negative, ie not conscious, without thinking. If you are knocked out, you are unconscious. If I hit your knee and it jerks, it's an unconscious movement.
