Okay, I hope I'm not looking like an ignorant person right
now but this question is bugging me and I hope the
professionals here can help me.

1. Does listening to a tape of a subject while you sleep
help you retain and learn it better when you are awake?

2. Assuming that the answer to #1 is Yes - If one can stand
to listen to two or more tapes simultaneoulsy while he or
she sleeps, can the brain properly process the information
so that it enhances the learning of the three subjects
while the person is awake.
Ex. Listen to a tape of Hamlet, a lesson on speaking in
Spanish, and a tape on Calculus.

I have not done this yet, mainly because I only have one
tape player right now.

Let me know your opinions and any web sites where I can
find more information on this.

Is this what they call "subliminal learning"?

No. This is called Hypnopedia. It derives from the Greek Hypno+Pethi
(sleep+learning).

There is absolutely no scientific evidence that this works. You need the whole
brain, both the left and right to process information. Since the left side is
