The 'Subconscious' is a wholly imaginary mind that as 'pure mind' and 'universal' remembers everything, but is mysteriously inaccessable. At least that's how it appears in Jung. The Freudian Unconscious is a more lucrative term for it, because in the Unconscious anything that is left in memory can at any time 'bubble up' into the conscious mind, but memories in the unconscious are not so much memories as they are signs devoid of meaning; so that here is a book, there a severed hand, and here your second grade school teacher, none of which have any meaning in and of themselves, but acquire it the moment they enter the conscious mind. If they do come into the conscious mind without meaning, then you are a schzophrenic.
The conscious mind is not so good at 'not remembering everything' as it excels at 'tactical forgetting'.
