Trivia

In fiction, mind is often portrayed as a triple structure consistent out of three components:

• Subconscious is described as set of processes that happen automatically without one's awareness of it: breathing, growing, regeneration, habits, etc.
• Conscious is portrayed in fiction as one's sentience and awareness of existence, it is responsible for all activities one does realizing it: studying, thinking, exploring, etc.
• Superconscious is said to be one's supreme mental essence that consciousness evolves into. It is often associated with spiritual realization, Enlightenment and becoming whole with oneself.

Furthermore, in psychoanalytic theory mind consists out of another three elements:

• Id: instinctive awareness and competence that is presented in individual since birth.
• Ego: sense of self that organizes personality.
• Super-ego: piece of collective mind that connects group and gives it similar properties.

Interaction between mind and consciousness vary in fiction as in some cases, they are considered one whole psyche, while in some others' mind is only a tool (or a framing device) of independently existing consciousness.
