    it can happen for me if as soon as i wake up i lay in bed and just let thoughts flow, stream of consciousness - style.
    i think that state between sleeping and awake is pretty magical

    It also shows up for me while I'm moving. Usually by the time I get in a place where I can write down my ideas, I've already forgotten them. I've decided to buy a little tape recorder so I can scoop up ideas when they come.
