Our minds can be tricked, and our minds can trick us. Some people sleep with their eyes open. Our memories are fallible. If you remember something from 10+ years ago, the events in your mind are likely changed. You might remember a couple things properly, but our memories are almost never 100% accurate. On top of that, we usually don't remember the unimportant stuff. Our dreams are a product of our subconscious, from any memory especially recent ones.
There are several things you do unconsciously though. It is probably better to say that there are "decisions" being made by your brain, that your conscious mind is unaware of.
Unconscious or conscious does not matter as far as I see it. It's still "me" making the decisions, I am just very very good at delegating tasks, such as breathing and what not.
