I don't think more clearly than fully awake, but definitely I think more clearly as I lie in bed than I do for the hour or so after I get up.

I hate that my subconscious mind in my dreams remembers more things than I do when I'm awake.

Have you ever had a conversation with it?
Mine's much more intelligent than I am... and that's great... but also terrifying.

What do you mean? You kinda have to talk to yourself in a dream, that's how it works as far as I know.

I don't have a separate half that has my subconscious memories, if that's what you mean. Semi-recurring characters that change appearance to fit the moment might be the closest to that; then again I'm guessing that based on a few dreams I had as a kid where 3 guys claimed they do so for my nightmares.

I often go on autopilot and let my subconscious solve problems for me while I space out.

It's one of the more dangerous mental practices, because it encourages sleepwalking, but it's ruthlessly efficient.

People often wonder how I juggle so much information in my head.

You can foster this ability by solving complex math problems without writing anything down, and eventually by focusing on something else entirely while you solve it.

Next level stuff.

How do you do that without falling asleep or only accomplishing staring at a wall?

I'm the opposite. I'm not able to think clearly until a shower, coffe and a cigarette.

Well I mean it appears as someone else, but is really a reflection of myself. That's why it interests me. Because it's more intelligent than me, but also indicative of me it suggests that I might be able to do similar neurological functions. It's kind of as Sol describes, especially when my brain is doing the task of generating a world-space, emulating waking senses, and/or having characters intelligently interacting with me.
Specifically, hypnagogic states can keep you on the edge between wakefulness and sleep. Have you ever been unable to sleep and just laying there for a while and out of nowhere a very vivid image appears? Maybe a scene?

Okay, I googled hypnagogic and I've had sleep paralysis(although never with sight as a sense) and had half awake-half asleep dreams that I could choose to wake up from. Hallucinating a scene or something like that, I can't say I have.

Sorry to say I've never met a reflection of myself that's got my subconscious mind, but I'm sure if I did he would be a condescending prick. Let you know if it happens.

The night is over.

I'm scared your avatar's gonna do something scary

No, I wake up to a state of total blankness in my head for a few minutes.


Aaaaand then it all hits me and I realise what my alarm was for. Coffee-breakfast-shower for autopilot mode.

When I'm up, I'm up. However, I have a lot of trouble sleeping. I'm up several times a night due to dreams. I have many recurring dreams, prophetic dreams (that I experience as deja vu later), and vivid nightmares (also recurring). A lot of the times, I know that I am dreaming, which makes it all the more frustrating when my dream-self is trying to make me wake up, but I can't.

I guess its because you are in a relaxed state hence your left hemisphere has more RAM to process shit.
I'm high.
