We have two conscious minds

The human Brain

Have you ever gone to sleep with a problem or question and in the morning woken with the answer? I know I have.
It is my belief the we have two conscious minds, the one we use during our normal day to day routines, one that has the capacity to remember and to learn as much as we need too and to allow us to continue in the manner we live at that moment in time, but it is an expandable one, so that when we need to learn more or to take in more information we can.
This conscious works all the time we are awake and only rests during our sleep time or when we turn it off, for example in a state of meditation.

We call this memory retrieval

And the other, the unconscious mind, is a much larger one, one that works in the background taking in all the information our eyes and ears see and hear, it also stores thoughts wishes and desires, this conscious has a much larger capacity, a little like a backup hard drive for holding all the little pieces of information that we might not need at that very moment, it has an enormous storage capacity, and this can use when and if we need it, this conscious or subconscious never stops it continues to store information even when we are asleep.

The information stored in the subconscious

While we Sleep

The information stored in the subconscious is available to the conscious mind whenever it needs it, it can, however, be retrieved by you delving into it, we call this memory retrieval; however the subconscious can be used in another way.
As it is a learning conscious as we think or ponder on a problem just before we sleep we can “activate” our subconscious so that it will continue to work on the problem whilst we sleep and invariable have the answer in the morning.
If you practice this you will be able to increase your intelligence quotient while you sleep. When you dream the results of your dreams are just what your subconscious has made of, from the things you have thought of, or have experienced during the day.

We only use a small amount of what is available

Most people think of the subconscious as a psychoanalytic term but this is not so, in fact Freud had condemned the word as long ago as 1915, he argues that If someone talks of subconsciousness, I cannot tell whether he means the term topographically -- to indicate something lying in the mind beneath consciousness -- or qualitatively -- to indicate another consciousness, a subterranean one, as it were
I do believe that because we only use a small amount of our intake of information, and that most of it is ignored and stored in our subconscious, it is possible with the right skills; we could with practice, be able to tap into this vast database and so increase our brain power.
