Don't think of it in terms of consciousness or unconsciousness. It is the life, which contains both and is beyond both. Life is so intelligent. You talk of the unconscious when there is a lapse in memory. In reality there is only consciousness.
All life is conscious, all consciousness - alive.
Even stones are conscious and alive. The worry with me is that I am prone to denying existence to what I cannot imagine. It is the imagined that is unreal. The future is not entirely unreal. The unexpected and unpredictable is real.
