Ne is Ne, regardless of whether you're an NFP or an SFJ (or an STJ!).
I do a lot of the same things you do -- free association, categorizing, dreaming up hypothetical scenarios. I think about what I'm going to do for the rest of the day, I wonder where I'm going to be in the fall of 2013, I reminisce and relive old memories and decide on their meaningfulness or lack thereof. I often do a lot of philosophical thinking when I'm idle -- though not the grand-scale kind of philosophical thinking, e.g. wondering how the world will be in a billion years, but the more grounded and relevant type of philosophical thinking. What are my life goals, and how will I apply meaning to my life? Should that meaning be created now or when I graduate? What are my internal standards, and why are they different from everyone else's -- and why do I apply my harshest rules only to myself and no one else? And I do this sort of philosophical thinking with the intent of finding an answer -- not asking the questions just for the fun of it.
Of course, I'm usually not idle or on your definition of autopilot; I surround myself with external stimuli (people, music, jobs, tasks, homework) to the point that I rarely think about those deep things -- which is why I ask them almost every time I'm idle.
Yeah. I often think that the first three functions are kind of meshed together in a lot of well developed and healthy adults.
