Unconscious vs subsconscious

"Unconscious is the term usually used in Psychology to refer to the thoughts we have that are ‘out of reach’ of our consciousness. [...] The important point to remember here, is that we cannot, by choice, remember anything in our unconscious without some special event or technique. This is the unconscious.

The sub-conscious is almost the same, but the very major difference is, we *can* choose to remember. The sub-conscious is for example the part of your mind that let’s you remember your phone number. Before reading this, you were not conscious (thinking right now) of your phone number, but should I ask you for it, you’re able to bring it to the conscious level by pulling it from your sub-conscious. The person who told you your phone number for the first time has perhaps faded from memory. It may still be in there somewhere, but it’s something you can’t remember (maybe), and if so, this is in your unconscious mind. So there you have it."
