 the person thinks about it your eyes see.
 take in things that your conscious mind doesn't really pay attention to think of all the people you pass by during the day maybe faces in a crowd you glanced at you may not recognize any of those faces but your subconscious stores them most of the main actors in your dreams are however people you would recognize simply
