In my artwork I have looked into this aspect of my own thought process.
For me, my thoughts appear from a blackness, a darkness I suppose. They are white letters when the thought is not related to anything instantly visual. Sometimes they are black on black.
When I am thinking about anything to do with art or creative activities, everything is very visual and I have a very fertile imagination.
I also have conversations with myself about a number of things, usually when it involves important decisions.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
