how would you define the subconscious

Something that’s pre-thought.
According to a chiropractor I spoke with, it’s another term for the limbic system.
past thoughts and state of mind

My psych teacher had a good analogy, he often described the subconscious as being part of an iceberg (which represents the whole mind) that lays under the water.
My Grandmother always described it as something like the “mammalian brain.” But she kinda believes in some weird stuff.

The area which you know, but can’t see, hear or think out loud.
The part of the mind with a gate attached.
Your dream state.
I think its essentially a core of energy and possibly houses part of the soul. If not we could totally rip ourselves apart with our energy
Freud said the subconscious (he called it the preconscious) was a mental waiting room, a modern-day worm hole between the conscious (acceptable thoughts) and the unconscious (unacceptable thoughts).
Or maybe not.

Activity in the psyche that escapes conscious awareness.
The background thoughts that aren’t processed lingually or recalling the image of someone walking by that you didn’t necessarily notice until afterwards.
They were there in your experience, but weren’t consciously noticed by you.
It is a theory or a idea.
explaining different conscious forces
That play a role in evaluating, equating all of life as see it to be and all you know it etc. background wutever, could be based on instinct or past knowledge, idk
its like ram that stores info about pure data, dreams , feelings and emotions. and when required by the conscious brain helps retrieve sub conscious info for faster response.
The reactor core of my mind. Unfortunately, it’s cracked and it has a radiation leak (schizophrenia).

The conscious part of the brain is minuscule. Most of what goes on in our minds, bodies and experience is not conscious. So from one point of view the subconscious is pretty much everything going on in us.
