Its hard to discuss this topic because the words are used in different ways. We all know what it means to be conscious - aware of our surrounding, alert and responsive. It means the same thing as 'not asleep'.

What's the word for the mental processing we do when awake, but are not personally aware of? Is it also 'unconscious'? Isn't there another word we can use?
