You're right, it sounds similar. Did your T say what it was exactly?

To clarify my experience, it's like a trance. A really really excited trance. I honestly feel great when it's happening. Energized, focused. I can cover huge amounts of material, work out complex problems, recall a memory in vivid detail, or work out the details in some completely invented story element, all in a few moments. After I snap out of it, I remember everything. And I can come and go from these trances dozens of times in a few minutes or not once in a single week.

Another interesting element. I have no control over it unless I consciously choose not to lose myself in any fantasies, etc. Also, I can't choose what I'm going to think about when this happens. It's just some random thought that will launch me into overdrive.

It doesn't hurt me, it's happened all my life, so it's not necessarily a bad thing. I'd just like to know what it is.
