It is having control of you body without having control of your thoughts. It is knowing what you are saying but now knowing where it came from. Being honest with yourself is not only an incredibly generic piece of advice but it is also impossible to do. Freud' theory hat dreams were the representation and interpretation of our deepest, most repressed ideas was refuted and replaced with the theory that dreams are nothing but the processing of thoughts.
Our brain works really hard to make us socially acceptable and the best way to do this is to repress any behavior that wouldn't be approved of by the people that surround us and thus assuring us of survival. The more taboo a though becomes, the more we keep it hidden and the less we dream about it. I Marlow was really in a preconscious state we were hearing what he thinks happened, not what really happened. His mind and his brain are convinced that what he describes is what really happened but there is an angle between reality and Heart of Darkness.
Under different circumstances Marlow would've simply not said anything but the preconscious brought out his thoughts and put them into words that his tongue speaks but his superego is a stranger to.
