    The document discusses how people don't often closely examine their own thoughts as they move quickly and are often too personal to share. It also explains how research is looking at the spontaneous thinking that occurs even when sleeping or daydreaming, known as free association of ideas, and how this reflects our hidden experiences and nature. Finally, it notes how such thinking is often interrupted by practical decision making needs and that people are generally resistant to changing their beliefs and convictions, preferring not to examine where those originate from.

    1.

    The paragraph discusses how people don't think enough about their thinking and how our
    thoughts move so quickly that we can't examine them closely. Many of our thoughts are too
    personal or trivial to share, and we only reveal a small part of them.

    2. The paragraph explains how we tend to think all the time, even while sleeping, and how our
    favorite kind of thinking is a spontaneous reverie.

    3. The paragraph discusses how scientific research is investigating the reverie of "free association
    of ideas" and how it reflects our nature as modified by hidden experiences.

    4. The paragraph explains how the reverie is often interrupted by the need for practical decision-
    making.

    5. The main idea of this paragraph is that humans are often very attached to their beliefs and
    opinions and are resistant to changing them.

    6. The main idea of this paragraph is that humans are often unwilling to examine the origins of
    their beliefs and convictions, and instead prefer to continue believing what they have been
    accustomed to accepting as true.
