I have this too. My cognitive processes are not related to my thinking brain, which I define as the part of my mental process which produces the sounds of words in my mind. Instead, I've observed that first, my subconscious processes concepts at a much more fine grained level, much like the latent space of a machine learning model. Only substantially after, let's say 10ms after, do thoughts arise, which are just pointers to the already processed subconscious process. A very rough analogy would be the inference of an LLM in words, vs all the processing of embeddings that happens internally.
