Improve Your Morse Code: The Next Stage - Subconscious Familiarisation

Learning to read the morse code can be a challenging proposition, as the initial stages of learning rely heavily on a conscious process of the brain during the listening, recognition and translation of a series of dots and dashes, together with their different set spacings to produce characters and words, which are then written down to form the contents of the message. As this is taking place the dots and dashes continue to bombard the brain, which it can handle so long as the rate of the incoming dots and dashes does not exceed the output of the translation being written down onto paper, with no distractions and 100% error free translation. However, this method involving the conscious process of the brain can soon be overwhelmed even when trying to read morse at relatively slow speeds, this point being termed 'hitting a brick wall'. Unfortunately for many, this barrier can never be overcome and the enjoyment of reading morse as you would read a book, magazine, or enjoy a conversation with someone, is lost.
The conscious brain process of learning is an excellent method, after all that is how we are usually taught at school; but unfortunately the conscious brain, similar to a computer, can only process a finite amount of data per second and simply cannot handle high data rates encountered with higher morse code speeds, or even lower speeds involving complex messages.
In order to freely read morse code at higher speeds and overcome the brick wall, a different approach needs to be adopted which avoids the brain having to consciously run those numerous processes of translation mentioned above.
I term this method 'subconscious familiarisation', where the conscious brain is switched off, allowing the more efficient subconscious to take over.
Here is an interesting lecture 'Are Brains Analogue or Digital?' by Prof. Freeman Dyson who provides a much better insight into the workings of the brain, which helps understand the difference between its analogue working (which I term subconscious) and its digital working (which I term conscious), and would explain why the analogue or subconscious part is more suited to processing morse code as sounds or 'songs': • Are Brains Analogue or...
