Elusive thoughts

Why did I not think of this before? I should have brought this up during that discussion! It would have been so useful. How many times does this happen to us?

Can a thought remain unnoticed as it blends with the "environment"  around it? Thoughts can be funny, hiding at times, when they would have been most welcome, and showing up when they are least expected. Can this be some sort of a camouflage effect? When the environment, that is your brain, is trying to think of something, do related thoughts camouflage and hence remain unnoticed? Do unrelated thoughts pop up only later?

Some times when you are trying to think hard about something, thoughts simply remain elusive and unnoticed, as they camouflage with the background. So the trick is to change the background quickly, and the thought will then be visible.
