Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind While Sleeping: An Introduction
Do you know that you can change your life while you are asleep? Yes! If you can reprogram your subconscious mind while sleeping, you can live a far better life than what you are living right now. That is because your subconscious mind is your way to a gold mine of ideas, knowledge, & wisdom. It is like a tube that connects your memory and your consciousness to make and keep your intelligence active, accessible & free-flowing in all directions.
Your subconscious mind cannot be altered too much at once while you are awake. But you can totally & easily rewire it while you are sleeping. You can make this ‘connecting funnel’ lighter, smoother, and more transparent by doing some subconscious mind exercises concerning your sleep to make it more favourable for you. And when your subconscious mind increases in utility, it will help create the life of your dreams.
So, what we will do in this blog is to see what our subconscious mind really is, how it functions, and what advantages it has for us. Next, we will explore why it is beneficial to reengineer it. And finally, we will discover how you can reprogram your subconscious mind while sleeping. As a bonus, we will also look into why we cannot restructure it while we are awake. So, let’s begin this exciting expedition to understand the subconscious mind and use it judiciously to our advantage.
What Is The Subconscious Mind

The concept of the subconscious mind has intricate links to the conscious mind. So, before we try to understand the subconscious mind, we first need to understand what the conscious mind is, as the subconscious mind is a milder version of the conscious mind.
So, what does the conscious mind mean?
The Conscious Mind
The conscious mind is a part of the mind, that is free of any memory. It gives you the state of pure consciousness. Also, brings you fully alive at this moment. It doesn’t give you any memory of the past or incidents related to it. You see, comprehend, analyse, understand, & use things that are in front of you, and take decisions and actions based totally on this instant understanding. You do not use your prior knowledge of those things consciously.
The conscious mind gives you the understanding of a child, that is clean, pure, and completely active. When the conscious mind is working well, you feel very curious about everything you come across. You want to explore things and discover new facts, knowledge, and wisdom about them without any particular objective in mind.
The conscious mind frees you of all your memory, good or bad so that, you are at your efficient best in the present. It makes you creative and fearless, which helps you learn new things very fast. In short, it makes you really progressive as a human being.
The conscious mind is something totally opposite of the unconscious mind or the memory mind.
The Unconscious Mind
An unconscious mind doesn’t mean a dormant mind. What it means is the memory mind, which gets activated when the mind is working based only on the memory it carries.
The human mind is always active, right from the time of a person’s birth to when he dozes and till he dies. So, an unconscious mind means that we are consciously choosing not to use our minds. For example, your mobile phone may be in its switched-on mode, but you may consciously decide not to use it at a particular point in time. So, just like a mobile phone, your mind is also active when you are not using it consciously. The only difference is, that unlike you, your phone cannot act based on the memory it has.
The unconscious mind remains dipped in memories. It forms a small portion of the whole mind. It is more active and constantly under use for a person who is either too happy or too sad. That is because whenever a person is too happy or too sad for a considerable amount of time, he is most certainly thinking about his past. Happiness or sadness in the current moment is only momentary and cannot be stretched limitlessly for too long. So, it is the unconscious mind that uses your past data, and based on it, keeps creating our future. Nothing new can happen out of the unconscious mind as people keep repeating their same old habits & patterns over and over again. Also, the unconscious mind can be a huge source of suffering and pain as it is devoid of freedom.
Between the conscious and the unconscious mind lies the subconscious mind.
The Subconscious Mind
The subconscious mind lies between the conscious mind and the unconscious mind. It holds them together, connects them, and is composed of both of them. The conscious mind forms a relatively greater portion of the subconscious mind. That is why it is called the subconscious mind and not the sub-unconscious mind.
The subconscious mind is like a passage between the other two minds. It allows the movement of memory to reach your consciousness and consciousness to reach your memory, hence making them complementary to each other. The subconscious mind itself consists of memory & consciousness. So, the subconscious mind helps our intelligence flow freely in all directions, helping us utilise it more efficiently.
Imagine if we could use our memory but not consciousness or vice-versa! So, the subconscious mind is valuable for an active, accessible, and free-flowing intelligence, as was told at the beginning of the article. It helps us analyse what we remember and remember what we see, learn, or analyse. It is a pathway to tap our potential intelligence and use it in various possible permutations, combinations, and unlimited possible other ways.
The Subconscious Mind Requires Reprogramming

But the free-flow of our potential intelligence gets slow, fuzzy, and even blocked sometimes. It happens due to three reasons.
Too Much Memory

Firstly, using or trying to use more memory than we should, blocks the subconscious mind. You must have heard people saying that memories get stored in their subconscious minds. Well, it shouldn’t. Memories come as strong thoughts, feelings, and emotions, making them relatively more ‘concrete’ and capable of blocking your intelligence. So, you should store memories only in the unconscious mind and not in your subconscious mind. It will strengthen your good memory, eliminate the bad memory. It will also help your subconscious mind remain flexible and perform better in channelling your intelligence in the right direction.
Need For Regular ‘Servicing’

Secondly, even if we don’t store too much memory voluntarily over time, some memories get stuck in the subconscious mind and need clearing. It is like, cleaning the filter in your air-conditioner once in a while so that the cool air passes easily and with greater force. So, it is advisable to ‘service’ your subconscious mind regularly, which we will learn about in the coming paragraphs.
Too Much Consciousness

Thirdly, too much sudden consciousness is also not a favourable situation for the subconscious mind. It surprises & shocks you and generates too much uncertainty that creates a lot of fear in you. That is to say, some minimum amount of memory is essential in our subconscious mind, which can bring more clarity & certainty within us. When too much consciousness touches the bad memories in the unconscious mind via the subconscious mind, sadness, grief, and pain get created. Hence, there needs to be a healthy balance between consciousness and memory in the subconscious mind. When this happens, the ‘connecting funnel’ becomes transparent in the sense that you can clearly monitor it now. That is when you have complete control over your intelligence that builds clarity & confidence within you.
Reprogramming The Subconscious Mind

As we saw in the previous section, we need to do three things to reprogram the subconscious mind. These are:
- Building the right amount of memory in the subconscious mind by removing the excess memory in it.
- Cleaning it up regularly of all the small unwanted extra memory.
- Regulating & building the right amount & speed of consciousness flow into the subconscious mind.
The relevant question now is can you reprogram your subconscious mind? Yes, you can! There are two possible ways to do the reprogramming of our subconscious mind. The first way is to reprogram your subconscious mind while sleeping, and the second method is to reorganise it when you are awake. Let’s check out both these ways to analyse them, check their suitability, understand them better, and take the best possible option to rewire our subconscious mind.
Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind While Awake

When we are awake, our subconscious mind is active and totally in use. So, it might be actively storing new memories, processing past memories, letting in consciousness from the present moment, and promoting free movement of our intelligence in our mind. Hence, knowing how to reach or reaching your subconscious mind while you are awake becomes difficult. In short, reprogramming of the subconscious mind becomes almost impossible when we are not sleeping.
We can explain this by taking the example of your smartphone once again. A smartphone can be reprogrammed, rebooted, updated, or formatted only in its switched-off mode. Similarly, we cannot alter our memory, consciousness, intelligence, or subconscious mind too much when we are awake. The best we can do when we are awake is to sense the direction & nature of the flow of memory, consciousness, or intelligence, but without being able to change or have any significant impact on them.
To change, clean, or restructure our subconscious mind, we need to first enter a completely relaxed state. A state where our mind is active but not working too hard to accomplish anything. A meditative or hypnotic state is a more technical, superior, and faster process of reprogramming the subconscious mind. But the best state or way to recode the subconscious mind for a person without indulging in any meditative process is the state of slumber. Now, you must be thinking, how do I reprogram my subconscious mind fast & easy? Sleep can reprogram the subconscious mind really fast without going into too much technicality.
So, now let’s see how you can reprogram your subconscious mind while sleeping.
Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind While Sleeping

Sleep, on its own, can bring your subconscious mind in perfect balance. You can easily reprogram your subconscious mind while sleeping to make it healthy, alert, and fully functional. Sleep reduces the heavier unwanted excess memory that blocks the pathway of your intelligence within your subconscious mind. It can clear away the small webs of troublesome memories sticking to the walls of your subconscious mind. And sleep can also regulate the flow of consciousness into your subconscious mind to keep it under control and make it healthy.
To achieve these different sub-purposes of the overall objective of reprogramming your subconscious mind while sleeping, we need to use sleep in different ways. To get rid of the dense undesirable surplus memory, we need to increase our sleep quota.
1) Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind While Sleeping: Sleep More

The first way to reprogram your subconscious mind while sleeping is to sleep more. Sleep is directly related to memory. Sleeping more reduces the excess memory in the subconscious mind. You must have seen that a depressed person sleeps significantly more than usual. Have you wondered why this is so? Sleeping more is a need for a person suffering from depression. That is because depression happens only due to the heavy unwanted excess memory that a person is unable to let go or forget. The mind and the body have their own mechanisms and natural processes to pull a person out of depression, one of which is sleeping more. Sleeping more lets a depressed person collect less memory and also helps him forget the painful memory. When this process gets finished, and the painful memory is gone, the depression is also gone, and the person’s (subconscious) mind becomes healthy again.
So, sleeping more removes the extra stock of memory in your subconscious mind. It naturally takes the amount of memory in your subconscious mind to an optimal amount. An amount of memory that doesn’t trouble you or stops your intelligence from moving freely in all directions. An amount that propels your intelligence to promote peace, happiness, and success in your life.
Then, there is numerous lighter excess unwanted memory that sticks to the walls of your subconscious mind and needs ‘servicing’. To clear them, we use normal-sleep schedules.
2) Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind While Sleeping: Normal Sleep

The second way to reprogram your subconscious mind while sleeping is to have some normal sleep. A healthy normal-sleep schedule & duration, free your subconscious mind of minor memory irritations. These light, memory ‘hangovers’ happen as a result of day-to-day work & life in general. That is to say, these are not heavy unwanted memory that we hold onto voluntarily. Over time, these light irritable memories, are bound to get deposited involuntarily in our subconscious mind.
But sleeping well, which includes sleeping on time for an optimal number of hours during the day with high sleep quality, helps us get rid of these minor memory hiccups. That is why, even after a very hectic and annoying day at work, when we sleep well and rise early the next day, everything feels light, rosy, and refreshing. Sleeping well washes away all your worries, doubts, and confusions and gives you a chance to start afresh.
But there is some dark memory that is neither too heavy nor too light. It neither gets resolved by sleeping more, nor it gets sorted by sleeping ordinarily. It is obstinate enough to cling onto our subconscious mind and make our experience a little more troublesome than the lighter memory hassles. To get rid of such mid-weight unwanted memory, we need power naps.
3) Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind While Sleeping: Power Naps

The third way to reprogram your subconscious mind while sleeping is to take power naps. Power naps help bust the mid-weight unwanted memory in the subconscious mind.
The mid-weight unwanted memory in the subconscious mind can be anything in your life. They vary from person to person, like the other two types of unwanted memory. They block your intelligence partially and not completely, like the heavy unwanted excess memory. To get rid of them, we need to use power naps and time before taking them in a particular way.
Brain-Storm The Issue
You must be wondering how do I program my subconscious mind before sleeping? What we need to do, is to lie down in bed and think about that memory (issue) in all its details & depth. Suppose it is an issue of improving your performance at work. Now, think of every possible thought, idea, and argument about your output at work. Think about what it means to you, what your boss, seniors, and colleagues think about your performance, what you are doing wrong, what you are working upon right now, or what more you can do to improve your performance. Think of every possible question related to it. Exhaust all questions irrespective of whether it is comfortable or uncomfortable to you. When you exhaust all these questions, you will feel tired but with a good feeling about it.
Power Nap
Now, take a power nap for an hour or two. You will be surprised to wake up with a smile on your face. You will feel lighter and much better than before. That is because you have sorted out the performance issue at work in your mind and have eliminated it naturally through the power nap. When you wake up, the issue will no longer be an issue for you. It will become an opportunity for you which will help you better your performance at work. It means that it will no longer remain attached to your subconscious mind.
That is how you reengineer your subconscious mind while sleeping and rid it of the unwanted memory to unclog it. Doing these processes would clear your mind considerably that will increase your clarity and confidence about various matters. It will help you and your intelligence achieve their true potential in life to make it beautiful for you.
The last part of reprogramming your subconscious mind while sleeping concerns increasing the memory and reducing the excess consciousness flow into the subconscious mind. We can do this by sleeping less.
4) Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind While Sleeping: Sleep Less

The final way to reprogram your subconscious mind while sleeping is to sleep less. This case is the opposite of the first case, where we slept more to reduce the heavy unwanted excess memory. Here, we need to reduce the flow of too much consciousness at once into the subconscious mind, which might make you feel overwhelmed. That means that we have to increase the percentage of light, wanted, & lacking memory which is the opposite of heavy, unwanted, & excess memory, which we saw in the first case. And to be able to do this, we need to sleep less. Thus, this reprogramming of the subconscious mind is related to sleep but is not done while sleeping. It’s performed by cutting down on your slumber.
Build Favourable Memory
What you need to do, is to sleep less than average to build some authentic, favourable, and valuable memory that will provide a solid foundation to your intelligence. It may be adopting some individual rules or natural laws of life which would bring greater certainty and stability in your life. Some customs would take care of your survival and promote your development & growth as a person. For example, these rules may be getting disciplined and forming a daily routine to improve your lifestyle and overall well-being. Something that would help you fight uncertainty, difficulties, and challenges in life. It may be money, healthy human relationships, a good job, or a top-notch skill that will uplift & boost your life in the right direction.
This good memory would fill in the lack of sufficient memory in your subconscious mind. It will bring more balance within your subconscious mind concerning memory & consciousness so that both play their roles perfectly well. And when this perfect balance gets established within your subconscious mind, it will propel your intelligence and become your active gold mine of ideas, knowledge, and wisdom. A gold mine that will make you rich in every aspect of your life.
Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind While Sleeping: Conclusion

Your subconscious mind is the linchpin of your intelligence. Thus, it needs to be clean, balanced, and in perfect shape. When you successfully reprogram your subconscious mind while sleeping, you can unleash your complete intelligence in anything & everything you do. How long does it take to reprogram your subconscious mind? It varies from person to person and from case to case. If the condition of the subconscious mind is far from balanced, it may take more time than usual which is not too long. But the important thing is to stay on track to achieving the perfect shape of your subconscious mind. It will not only produce amazing results but would also help you find full expression as a human being. It would bring joy, acceptance, and bliss into your life to make it worth living!
