Your mind could never work on a unconscious level , in this time our minds must maintain and keep clear thoughts. So the answer could never be working or even thinking on a unconscious level at all. To even work on such a level we would have to orgainize our mind and thoughts

all of our dirty little secrets and things we have floating in our minds have to be stored somewhere and are revealed to us through everyday actions or even through our dreams when are most rested. things we dont normally think about or never even considered thinking about are just waiting for the right time to surface. I think that's how our minds work on an unconscious level.

I believe when we think on a unconcious level we are at a point where our minds and the way we are thinking is the same. Hince the saying act before you think. That means people have the tendency to think before even knowing what the consequences would be.

I feel that things work on an unconscious level ,but not where you are aware . I feel that on an unconscious level we think about unresolved issues ,fears and possibilities in our lives .I feel that on an unconscious level these feelings can be aroused and cause you to address the issue head on in your conscious state of mind.I believe that the unconscious level is a level used to guide you in your conscious level.

It is kinda hard to explain how things work on an unconscious level, but I think that some things we do we uncounsciously do them. For example ,I get up every morning and drop my kids off before before I go to work. And I sware some mornings I do not remember thinking about the the route I took. I think I subcounsiously drive the same same way every morning and I do not acutally think about doing it, I just do it.

When reading the text in the book, I think things do work on a unconscious because things or situations sneak up on you. For example my goal is to make a six figure salary, lose 20 pounds, and accept without hesisitation and possible be a minsiter. In the middle of all this I still have sexual desires for women. That's nature man want woman but that is not my goal. According to the text the ID(unconscious level) consists of all primitive and innate urges. I am not possessed but I try constantly to find ways how to reach these goals only to find out that if I don't act on them evryday, but live my everyday life I noticed that I am meeting these goals without having a unrestrained personality, where it affets me and the people around me.

I think that on an unconscious level there are suppressed thoughts, feelings, or desires you consider too embarrassing, hurtful, or unacceptable to act upon for one reason or another. Sometimes you maybe aware of the forbidden that conceals itself in the unconscious mind, but have made a choice not to act on them. There are moments when an unconscious mind has control,such as in the term Freudian slip.

I think we just do things according to whats going on around us at that time. Sometimes we think about what we're doing and other times we just don't. We think before we act sort of speak. After the fact we come to our senses most of the time and realize that we have done something totally out of character.

How do you explain the unconscious?
The mind is where the innermost person is found. The state of a persons mind
usually determines the performance of their mind. The concept of the unconscious
level can be explained through the concept that within the mind exists different layers of
thought processes occurring primarily in the unconscious level, preconscious level and
the conscious level (Baron, 316). Speaking of the three levels, they appear to be
connected and dependent on each other. What does the unconscious level have to do with
how the mind works? Just how things work on an unconscious level is described by
Freuds theory, that our feelings and behaviors can be strongly affected by information
we cant bring to mind and cant describe verbally (320). For instance, information can
transmitted to the unconscious level that may not be aware by the conscious level. Last
year August, my sister called me to tell me she was ill with a health condition, several
months later I had a dream that she had passed away. At the time she was ill, the
physician had given my sister two years to live. So, taking place in my unconscious level,
the dream was to enable me to come to the realization that I would soon lose my sister to
the illness. I think when changes take place in our lives we either through the
unconscious level refuse to acknowledge it, or facing the changes head on.

i believe on an unconscious level there are thigs that are harmful, negative and very unpositive. i believe carelessness and not thinking before you act are reasons why people do things that are considered not conscious.

Why is it that all the things that seem to be bad are on a unconscious level? Fear, violent motives,selfish needs, shameful experiences.....
Freud believed that the unconscious held the thoughts desires and impulses of things that we are unaware of? How is it that we are unaware of the things that we truly want? I have been pondering these questions and Im not quite sure, honestly I have no Idea with out looking into it deeply and asking for some assistance with these questions? I feel like these questions go deeper into a persons soul. Maybe thats it, maybe its all the things that we hide deep within ourselves? But, I do wish to try to understand and seek the truth concerning our unconscious level and why we are UNAWARE of things we truly want.

After reading our text Freud theory believe that the human mind has three levels: conscious,preconscious, and unconscious. He also believe that personality involves three basic structures: Id, Ego, Supergo. Unconscious level is the Id level (meaning fears, selfish needs, shameful experiences, irrational wishes. The conscious mind is not capable of doing what the unconscious mind can do. Don't get me wrong the conscious mind is powerful an resourceful in its own right. And it is also useful to understand that when we try to do on conscious levels what we are designed to do is the unconcsious.

The unconscious level of our thinking contains hidden desires, fears, and hopes. It could be unreasonable desires that explain (for example) why some people like violent video games. Sometimes when I dream, I realize that I am dreaming and I am able to act out my unconscious desires without concequence. However, while awake I would never even be tempted to act out the same things. If I was unable to realize I am dreaming and control what I do, I probably not even know the unreasonable desires were there without help.
I believe that our unconscious levels also effects addictions. It could be a fear that we are unaware of that causes a person to constantly eat, or drink, or do drugs, anything. A person can be looking for an escape from something they don't even know exists.

In the unconscious level, things you don't think you think about reveal themselves. For me it happens in my dreams. The unconscious is real, if only we were able to control it.

Repetetion of habit over a period of time could cause ones actions to unconsciously be appearent. Examples: one who shakes their leg or twirls their hair when nervous, both of which unconsciously appearent.

Unconsciousness exists on a level deeper than your thoughts. Reactions on this level exist and are responded to at the when you least expect it. I feel these are you deepest thoughts, emotions, or feelings. For instance, when you inadvertently use the wrong name; when you clearly know the proper name. 'You see this person every day, you know their name, but consistently call then the wrong name.'

It seems that is where we get alot of liitle traits that make us who we are. If we could tap in to it, the possibility of great intelligence seems very likely. According to Freud, this is where all of our bad traits were suppressed, I am not sure of this. It seems to me that this is the part of the brain that is the least in use and the largest part. I am not sure if anybody knows what is stored in the unconscious level and how our body uses it, and how to unleash it. To me, it seems as infinite as space.

It's hard to explain how a person operates on an unconscious level. I guess the best example of this would be a person that sleep walks. Though most of us do not have that problem, we all do in some sense operate on an unconscious level when we daydream.
