Is it possible, consciously and voluntarily, to do something without ever having decided to do so?

In crime & punishment, Raskolnikov never decides to commit his crime. He is fascinated by the hypothetical, i.e. the possibility of it, and rehearses the crime repeatedly -- but, still, he never decides to kill the old woman. In holding onto this potentiality, his mind's climate was perversely affected, and by a peculiar concatenation of events he commits the murder, albeit in a dream state as if it were another rehearsal. And the multiplicity of contradictory ideological explanations advanced throughout the novel derives from this fact. Is Dostoevsky's rejection of the common-sense thesis that actions follow from the last determination of the will apt?

Consider a lot of everyday habitual actions, like getting a coffee in the morning, going to school/work, greeting friends as you see them. Most of this is conscious and voluntary, but you certainly aren’t deciding to do them in any sense that involves deliberation.
