The subconscious becomes way easier to understand once you meditate a bit on the structure of the brain and do a little reading on the split-brain condition. The two hemispheres of the brain are connected by a neural superhighway called the corpus callosum. If you cut the bundle, then the hemispheres can still communicate, but the bandwidth is cut to a trickle. In this situation, the hemispheres develop divergent personalities and they can often fight over broader executive control of the organism. With the bundle intact, the halves settle into roles, with the left brain taking the conscious aspect. The right brain forms the unconscious.
