Is the subconscious real in the way that they are dark calculations that are not in the spotlight that is consciousness? No matter how much you focus on awareness they just can’t be seen.

Or is it more like peripheral vision where they are in fact there but just ignored, another example would be like listing to music and when you pay closer attention you find instruments that you never noticed but are in fact in the the spotlight so to speak.

What is a more legitimate view? Thankyou

The first. Your self-awareness is limited by the structure of the brain itself. If you were to synthetically design some sort of new brain, you could potentially engineer some way for that artificial brain to have the infrastructure to be self-aware of all its own workings and sub-processes, but this functionality is not a part of the human brain as it exists. That is, there is no hard rule of physics or the universe which dictates that there even HAS to be a subconscious, and this is only how our brains evolved in order to maximize certain potentials within very strict and very competitive caloric restrictions. 

As we progress down the road of synthetic intelligence, I think this is a restriction which will very quickly be done away with. Future consciousnesses will be ENTIRELY conscious, of all their simultaneous processes, and will be able to self-check, auto-edit, and maintain full knowledge and control of their own individual selves.
