I don't know whether it's a source of inspiration itself but according to Sigmund Freud, the main force behind artistic creation is s*xual energy (else known as "libido") as it's channelled into more appropriate ways of expression. Primitive instinctive drives and impulses are known to be part of the unconscious.

Something that may interest you, below.

In humans – emotions/feelings, ideas/imagination, motivations/intentions are combined to a unique degree – "the greatest evolutionary innovation of mammals was the expansion of the (thinking) cortex to tremendous size."

Our intuitive responses and/or imagination may seem to be coming from 'somewhere else' – what many term the unconscious or subconscious or even superconscious – out there – but these are evolving aspects of the human brain and mind/body system.

New research shows that "the phenomenon of 'interoception' – your ability to read and interpret sensations arising from within your own body – is essential to these fundamental features of being human: sentiment, sentience and emotional awareness… studies involving the 'right frontal insula' show that the more viscerally aware you are, the more emotionally attuned you are." This in turn relates to the consciously intuitive/imaginative mind.

Believing gifts and imagination are of a mysterious – even subconscious – origin, may well make them less accessible. Neuroscientists now argue that at the deepest level mind/body, cognition/emotion are inseparable.

our subconscious is so much smarter then I am always seams to out smart us not very nice either, doesn’t know so much about the creative forces seams mine is always stealing ideas. Tries to come up with an original and the subconscious always seam to land us in a well traveled rut. I have to consciously force the path some times. And we don’t like having to resort to that.

Well, Im not completely sure I understand the question you're asking, so all I'm going to say is the subconcious mind is a mystery and can do many untold things.
