Do you control what you believe?

So what I am suggesting is that conscious awareness may play a role in how the unconscious comes to grips with conflicting desire which may in turn lead to a more fruitful reconciliation of desires at an unconsciousness level.

Partly, maybe so. But it is still all ultimately entirely determined by unconsciousness.

Yes. Not only that but remember even if one sets out to be aware of conflicting desires, that already bespeaks a pre-existing desire for self knowledge. Nothing we decide to do, including serving the clarification of our unconscious, can be freely chosen. It may turn out that along the path of mindful self knowledge, all paths merge to some degree so that the deeply personal turns out to be ubiquitously transpersonal. Or perhaps not.
