I don't know about the OP, but I'm consoled by it! In the movie "Awakenings", a panel of shrinks is trying to assess whether Robert Di Niro's character is competent to take a walk outside, unaccompanied. One asks him,"Are you aware that you're subconsciously (I forget what--some tic, or the like)? To which he replies, "Well, if it's subconscious, I don't really see how I could be aware of it."
