I know exactly what you're talking about! I think
I have two kinds of, I call it "Brain fallout". One kind is when I am getting a "great" idea, it's just coming... it's coming, and I start to get it, and like a dream you can't remember, it's gone. -- I think it is like a dream. I think it is inspiration and because I start to pay too much attention, it's gone just the way a dream can go when you wake up too fast.
The other kind is when I'm explaining a "new" idea or a tenuous idea to someone I care about, or to someone who I "want" to understand. If I see that blank look or hear that "hoo, hum" sound in their voice, I loose the idea because I am confused by their response.
Is that like what you go through?
