I'm not sure I buy into the 'brain reboot' thing at all.

If vocabulary and language shapes our thoughts, ie we use soliloquy to shape our thoughts, then this suggests that using such terminology above determines our beliefs about our mental states kind of.

I would rather think we drift in and out of conscious awareness; we do not reboot ever.
