Don't Suppose Many Know What it's Like to Operate on More than One Level of Consciousness....

[The Doctor.]

8. Well, we don't have much of a choice for the most part.

We're all pretty much living in the conscious, hyper-conscious, and super-conscious all the time.

Problem is, most people are 'asleep' on other levels of consciousness and therefore have little interference occurring on their mundane level of 'reality'. Those that are more active in the super/hyper-conscious realm have less control in mundane reality.

Know anyone with really bad 'luck'?

What's really happening (in many cases) is that their super-conscious activities are putting them in bad positions in mundane reality. They might 'accidentally' get off the highway at the wrong exit, for instance, and wind up late for an important appointment while never realizing that they just altered the traffic pattern just enough to prevent a major accident elsewhere.

Their super-conscious awareness, in this case, caused them to act on something their conscious mind was completely oblivious to.
