The discussion centers on the nature of consciousness during sleep and the functioning of memory. Participants explore whether individuals are partially conscious while sleeping, noting that the brain processes sensory information differently in sleep states. It is suggested that memory consolidation occurs during sleep, but not all sensory experiences are retained. The conversation also touches on sleepwalking and the brain's ability to operate on autopilot during low consciousness states. Overall, the complexities of consciousness and memory during sleep remain a topic of debate, with calls for further research and understanding.

Of course you exist. Are you looking you get this thread moved to Philosophy?

No, I'm trying to get answers to my previous questions.

Define conscious, unconscious and subconsciousand then you get your answer.

I think you might do better to pick up a book on the subject. This buckshot approach to questions does not seem to be giving you much satisfaction. Your questions are kind of peppered with preconceptions and vagaries, so attempts to answer them must first sort out misconceptions and meanings.

So does sleep involve COMPLETE unconscioucness?
Examples of lucid dreaming show that the answer is: not always.

Or COMPLETE consciousness?
I do not know why you ask this question. You know the answer. It is the kind of question that causes people to not want to answer, since it makes them wonder what you're up to.

Or partial consciousness/subconsciousness?
Probably. Or more accurately: I do not know the answer. There are authorities that can teach you much more about current research the subject better than anyone here.

Like if your memory perfectly stored everything that you felt/experienced in sleep and you woke up and remembered, would the memory be different from your memory of what you felt before you were born?

Are you serious Candydude? Before asking question after question why don't you respond to some of the points that have been made?

As for this comment I do remember my dreams but how is that anything to do with before we were born? For most of that time we didn't even have a fully formed brain.

You really should go and study this by buying books on the subject (science books) rather than shotgunning questions at people, especially when those questions are followed by more that have no baring to the answers previously given.
