I relate to your example. Is 'getting upset' a physical reaction or an emotional one? I think of the physical action as a reaction to the stimulus. When no action is taken, it has no-where to go. It is suppressed until, as you say, next time.

I experience the subconscious as images and words also. But I've noticed, mostly through meditation, that those images and words are connected to certain areas of my body.
I think everyone experiences physical sensations connected to emotions that are connected to images and words, but not all are aware of them. I feel fear down the back of my legs.

The body registers all experiences, whether we are conscious of it or not.
I think so too. I think the physical sensations become stronger in support of the feelings that were once intuition.
