The idea is a halt of thought; it arises when the thinking, instead of continuing its own train, makes a pause or is reflected back on itself.

The patient, puzzled at finding that his perception is incompletely real, and therefore incompletely present, hardly knows if he is dealing with the present or the past or even with the future. Crimes against humor have to do a tremendous amount of work to express something so vividly that the tension maintained by common sense goes out the window.
Psychic deficiencies become obvious: In order to define these states we simply have to indicate what has disappeared from consciousness. They consist in an absence.

Memory is not likely to bring a complex organization that thwarts every attempt to comprehend itself to what Bergson calls: The fact is that it is the memory which makes us see and hear, and the perception is incapable by itself of evoking the memory which resembles it, because, to do that, it must have already taken form and itself be complete; now, it only becomes complete and acquires a distinct form through that very memory, which skips into it and provides most of its content.
