I was shocked to learn that we only use 10-12% of our conscious mind and 88-90% of our subconscious mind! Our subconscious mind is our long-term memory, meaning it stores everything that we have ever seen, heard, learned or experienced. The subconscious stores information every minute of every day, no matter what state of consciousness we are in.
