After reading some posts, I agree with Emily's comment about the brain being able to compensate for what "reality lacks or our senses lack in picking up. I see this as almost a large puzzle with the conscious contributing a majority of the pieces, but the subconscious contributing the critical ones, for example like when doing a puzzle of a sunset over the ocean, I imagine that the subconscious finds the pieces of water that are ususally just lost until the end of the puzzle. This is not to say to undermine the conscious mind because without the conscious, I do not think that the subconscious could be capable of everything I am currently crediting it with because in the same puzzle metaphor, without the conscious perceiving the picture and the sizes of the pieces, the subconscious would not be able to contribute its key portions.
