Nah, not at all. I've started to wonder if it's like sports. While they call it "the zone", what I think it simply means is that you're better at it when you don't think about it but just do it. I'm at my most loquacious while in fugue rather than in deep thought ("deep thought" often brings on "self-indulgent" articulation). Basically, I'm just letting my head do whatever it does, and writing it down. Oddly (to me), this often/mostly seems to come around at its maximum during times of my more depressed moments - I definitely feel an infusion of mania and "zany" wordery while walking along the edge of the precipice, and it's often just before (or part of) the fall, or just after (or during) the climb out. Dead in the midst, the self-indulgence can often result in lengthy, staid articulation of "reasonable" opinion or explanation, sober as a judge (a non-alcoholic judge, who is really sober), or, otherwise, complete apathy and silence.
Of course, most people would not call the results of my fugue state "articulate"
but there's definitely a sense of "floatiness" involved.
Cheers,
Marc
