preconscious

Not all the sense-perceptions processed through the perception-consciousness system present themselves immediately in to consciousness, but remain in the memory in a preconscious state. They have not been repressed, so are not technically unconscious; they are available to consciousness through recollection or as material for dreams. in the case of dreams, we sometimes refer to these preconscious materials as "day residue."
