Different kinds, shapes and depths of thoughts

I am sure ther are different kinds of thoughts.

There are kinds of thoughts. i.e. visual, words, scenes, feelings etc.

There are strenghts of thoughts. from the most faint ones,for which we may hardly be conscious about, and which we can attend ogether with other thougths asimuiltenously (or with tiny time differences. But I believe they can be subjectively together, and probably even cognitively. Have not reviewed literrature).

There i the lenght of thoughts. Does it stay there? or flows and fades away?

There is also the automaticity of thoughts. Are they coming by themselves like in dreams? or being initiated and "moved" with a feeling of making them happen?


These differences are crucial to many manifestations of thoguhts.

Generally, I beleive that the softer and cheaper the thought is the more efficient its management etc. and the less complications. (I have a suspicion that in meditation training, people learn to handle thoguht in an easier and cheaper way. But meditation training has many components, and this is probably only one of them. It would be interesting if one can develop meditation practices that are directed to mroe specific thoguhts components).
