This is why so much human speech is able to be done with minimal conscious thought and people are able to "speak before they think", right?

I've been fully asleep and had complete conversations with people without them ever knowing I wasn't awake.
Though if talking while falling asleep I stop making sense, but will continue speaking.
I've even done it while awake but when my mind wanders, and my mouth continues. Autopilot can do some odd things.
There is no one me. I am an averaging of many brain modules and voices doing separate things not always toward a common goal.
