AUTOMATIC BEHAVIOR

Automatic behavior is the spontaneous production of purposeless verbal or motor behavior without conscious self-control or self-censorship.

Automatic behavior can also be exhibited in REM sleep, during which a higher amount of brain stimulus increases dreaming patterns. In such circumstances, subjects can hold conversations, sit up, and even open their eyes. These acts are considered subconscious as most of the time the events cannot be recalled by the subject.
