I forget the name but I remember reading about this as a recognized process in neurology. We usually only hear the thought that wins, but there are many generated simultaneously, and there is a selection process.

Possibly related, I had a similar experience last night, where my mind simulated a fully realistic conversation between two people, with audio and video, except that the sentences made no sense. I thought that was interesting. My explanation was "the language part of your brain is too tired cause you've been using it all day."

Hm, interesting... i struggle with people understanding what i mean with having too many thoughts in parallel. I thought that's what adhd is, but turns iut, it's not. But i don't have a winning thought. I have to fight many of them & "pick" the winner if you will. People always take it as a figure of speech, but i honestly struggle with it. It's not rare that i can just sit quietly and after a few hours i am exhausted when finally having finished thinking.

If you remember the official name, please let me know. I'd love to look into it more.
