OP, aren't you an INTJ? Would you please attempt to do the same thing that I have done, but with Ni, (Te)???
I shall try. I did something similar once (or rather, had others doing something similar) with a "Give Us An Example of a Thought Process" thread based on arbitrary words that were thrown out there... I'll try to find that thread later.
Before I begin, I have to say that all of the posts in this thread are extremely helpful. I am getting a much clearer idea of what Ne is. Y'all are awesome. Reading through the stream of consciousness post, I could see the influences from the external world... and I think mine are much, much more internally based. The thoughts only need say, one or two key things to kick off the process and then the outer world kind of fades away as I follow the thoughts from one to the next, almost completely tuned out of the 'real world' for the duration until I come up for air.
I'll type now, as I sit here watching the clock, my own thought process, so the rest of this can be ignored unless you want an insight into an INTJ mind for a minute.
Blahhh. 2:45. I have ... an hour and 45 minutes left until I can leave for the day. Am I on support today? No that was yesterday, good. I don't want to stay again. Traffic sucked yesterday. They should fix the stupid roads around here and it probably wouldn't be so bad. During the school year it will get worse. That and when the sun starts setting at rush hour time. Gawd I love summer! Those guys are hot. Its not so hot today, we should go swimming. Crap! Dog obedience class. Wonder if I can sign the kid up ha! She does need to go with me... and she'll need dinner. I'm full from lunch. Friday is going to be interesting and I STILL need to talk to him first so there isn't trouble. I can't forget to call the restaurant too with a number. How many will we be? I dont even know who all is coming yet. How do I get into these things? I shouldn't be in charge of social events and yet I still invite people to things. Maybe I shouldn't do the pool party this year... but its just starting to become a tradition and probably more will come. Hehe thats why you should cancel it! Whatever, don't be a hermit. Kiddo likes the hermit crabs from the store. We'd probably kill it. Plus we have too many animals as it is. I never thought the fish would live so long. Esp with two cats. I really don't like the new cat. I never should have agreed to take it in. She isn't BAD really, just picks on my other cat a lot.
*Here I actually came up for air... the thought process ran itself through I guess*
Its so quiet... feels like a Monday. Plus my coworker has quit hammering on shit now at his desk. I should turn on my ipod. I wonder if Chuck will be back on in the fall. I like that show. Plus Chuck knows Kung FUUUUU! Ahahahaha! I wonder how well he'll do with it in the acting. I should get my next Kung Fu belt tests out of the way. I'm so bored with the one I'm on. So funny he didn't think I'd ever actually come in and sign up. I miss working at the car lot. I wonder what J is up to. I should text him. Did I pay the phone bill yet?
** The End **
Re-reading through my own post compared to yours, I notice a lot more 'gaps' that probably don't make as much sense to an outsider that yours didn't really have. This may be a big difference between Ne and Ni with the 'reality touchbacks' that Ne does compared to the leaps of the Ni world.
I'm going to re-copy my paragraphs below this with the gaps filled in a little so maybe we can better see the area where the leaps are made... I'll put them in bold.

Blahhh. 2:45. I have ... an hour and 45 minutes left until I can leave for the day. Am I on support today? No that was yesterday, good. I don't want to stay again. Traffic sucked yesterday. They should fix the stupid roads around here and it probably wouldn't be so bad. During the school year it will get worse. That and when the sun starts setting at rush hour time.
(I've previously concluded that traffic is always worse when the sun setting coincides with the normal rush-hour because people like construction workers etc are all getting off work as well as the normal 9-5 ers) Gawd I love summer! Those guys are hot.
(The construction workers!) Its not so hot today, we should go swimming. Crap! Dog obedience class.
(Is tonight, so I can't go swimming) Wonder if I can sign the kid up ha! She does need to go with me... and she'll need dinner. I'm full from lunch. Friday is going to be interesting
(I have invited some ex employees to meet up with a bunch of us at work on Friday for a kind of reunion lunch) and I STILL need to talk to him first so there isn't trouble.
Him being the boss who isn't invited but thinks he is... ack! I can't forget to call the restaurant too with a number. How many will we be? I dont even know who all is coming yet. How do I get into these things? I shouldn't be in charge of social events and yet I still invite people to things. Maybe I shouldn't do the pool party this year... but its just starting to become a tradition and probably more will come. Hehe thats why you should cancel it! Whatever, don't be a hermit.
Ohhh, enter the 'inner voices' LOL Kiddo likes the hermit crabs from the store. We'd probably kill it. Plus we have too many animals as it is. I never thought the fish would live so long. Esp with two cats. I really don't like the new cat. I never should have agreed to take it in. She isn't BAD really, just picks on my other cat a lot.

Its so quiet... feels like a Monday. Plus my coworker has quit hammering on shit now at his desk. I should turn on my ipod.
The iPod is named 'Chuck' I wonder if Chuck will be back on in the fall. I like that show. Plus Chuck knows Kung FUUUUU! Ahahahaha! I wonder how well he'll do with it in the acting. I should get my next Kung Fu belt tests out of the way. I'm so bored with the one I'm on. So funny he didn't think I'd ever actually come in and sign up.
My instructor used to be a customer of ours at the car lot where I used to work and we would always talk about me some day joining up I miss working at the car lot. I wonder what J is up to.
One of the people from the car lot I should text him. Did I pay the phone bill yet?
