what are the characters of the conscious and unconscious minds?
In metaphorical terms, the unconscious mind is a reservoir for all the multidimensional experiences you’ve acquired throughout your lifetime. It not only controls your automatic functioning in countless behaviours each day, but it also holds all your acquired knowledge, both personal and social as well as your historic experiences. It is less rigid and analytical than the conscious mind, being capable of interpreting things symbolically and “reading between the lines”. The conscious mind, on the other hand, has the ability to analyse things, to reason and to make judgements as to what is right or wrong. Although the two have different sets of functions, they also share a considerable number between them. The overlap allows them to work together, while the differences can and sometimes do surface in internal conflict.
