> I'm pretty sure that this integration process in my brain continues even when I'm unconscious. Nope. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19818903 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19818903 If not off, at least, it is greatly reduced, and memory encoding is turned off, anyway. You can even wake up for a few minutes and not remember it. That is, in slow wave sleep. In REM sleep, you can be conscious, and probably are systematically (dreams) even though you don't always remember it.
