Answer:

The answer is unconscious and preconscious, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The unconscious usually holds unpleasant or unacceptable ideas which are not accesible by conscious thought. Some psychoanalists suchs as Sigmund Freud used dream analysis to access these ideas.

The preconscious contains ideas that can be brought to awareness easily, often at very specific situations (e.g. an answer for an exam).
