Unconscious: unconscious are processes in the inner life of subjects that are processed on no more than one level, i.e. influences such as perceptions or general stimuli, which are admitted into the subject but which are not reflected and thus do not provide a semantic content. If these influences are not lost, they represent a stock that can be reactivated and further processed. See also consciousness, self-consciousness, self, I, brain, mind, mental states, reflection, memory._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

J.R. Searle on Unconscious - Dictionary of Arguments
I 192f Unconscious/Searle: according to the model of consciousness (pro, VsHeidegger) e.g. hammering is not done unconsciously but aware. There are two differences: conscious/unconscious, peripherals/center . Cf. >Awareness. I 160f SearleVsFreud: unconscious for him is like fish deep down in the sea (wrong idea of mental constance). They seem to have the same form. Problem: there is a false analogy: consciousness/perception (regress) requires yet another level of description, which does not exist, unconscious on the model of consciousness. >Regress. ((s) Cf. >Perception/Rorty). What is the ontology of the unconscious, as long as it is unconscious (revolt? hatred of the father?). If I take away the object (bicycle) from the perception, it is a hallucination, but that is what I cannot do in case of conscious thought, to obtain the unconscious._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
