The unconscious is there and awake in your sleep. When my husband talks in his sleep now, he talks like he always did before his illness-giving coherent and detailed instructions in logistics, sending off orders of complicated forms which he recites, etc. The first time I woke up and listened, and was very perplexed. Now when it happens, I listen, because I might get a clue to what line of reasoning still functions in his brain, and try to talk about it with him in the daytime. He usually only last for one to three sentences with me, but one day it will come back, because it is all still there within him.
