The best way I can think to describe is the following:
Perform a simple action= thinking of recent video clip I just saw
Thinking of clip = actor in clip
Actor in clip=show they were in
Show they were in=different actor in show
Different actor in show=person i knew 10 years ago that actor resembles
Cue me thinking about said person and the school we went to relative to where they were living at the time. Then wondering why I’m thinking of this person i haven’t seen or talked to in nearly 10 years? And cycling all the way back up the train of thought to figure out how i got there.

Literally ALL the time
I do it all the time!
Literally ALL the time
That’s how I get myself to sleep often
I used to all the time but grew out of it with age
The only time my wife asks me what I’m thinking about is when I’m at some obscure thought that will make no sense without a little bit of info. I don’t want to seem like the weirdo that is wondering what the average height of a Sunda flying lemur is.
I have an uncanny ability to trace the trail for nearly all of my random thoughts. So, no. Not me.
I’ve literally been doing this so often lately
That is a perfect description of what I sometimes do
You’ve probably got ADHD my dude. Random tangent thought trails are a classic experience.
