At times something you have been wanting to do or an idea flashes in your mind and before you get hold of it , it vanishes. It is so frustrating when that happens because you know you have missed something...happens to me sometimes and later at the most odd times it does come back ! Our sub conscious mind is so mysterious and complicated ..

Yes it certainly is mysterious and complicated. I get a rush of creativity sometimes in the middle of the night even

@kiran8 This is true, sometimes we do not think to something specific, but it comes to our mind.

Indeed yes, @kiran8 it has happened to me at times. So what I do is I jot down points as soon as I get the idea. This way, I can come back to it whenever I want and not forget it.

Yes Gabby that's the only you can remember , even a few words would help us in refreshing our subconscious. Word association is such a wonderful thing .

That is the most practical thing to do if you have paper and pen handy and the ideas are still fresh in your mind

@Nawsheen I have had some amazing experience where suddenly out of the blue I remember a conversation and the face of a person, totally unknown to me. I am sure I must have seen this person somewhere and the subconscious mind must have captured the image for some reason..it really is fascinating

@kiran8 Yes it is definitely fascinating. But certain things will always remain mysterious
