Motor neurons

Again, I liked the idea of the nervous system being explained as a symphony but I am a little concerned about what will happen if the outside stimulus is the unconscious as in the example of a sleep walker or a person who has multiple personalities. How can their symphonies be explained? How do they learn to ignore these discharges if they are not consciously aware that they are doing them? Today's morning session was food for thought because in my classroom I have experienced some of these events.
