Noticed this article today on Science Daily. Spontaneous thoughts are perceived to reveal meaningful self-insight -- ScienceDaily
What is a non spontaneous vs spontaneous thought? I guess they are referring to a sequence of thoughts that have some logical connection vs one that doesn't seem to, but how often does one have a thought that is in no way related to the one before it or something going on in the environment, something said or heard or seen, or an internal sensation? How often does a thought actually bubble up from the subconscious unconnected to anything else?
