Dolphin brain is a metaphor for the mental connections/ train of thought made by a ND person in between conversation. It can be used to describe the thought process made mentally by a ND person in-between verbal conversation.
Imagine a dolphin jumping out of the water; that's the voiced thoughts/conversation. The dolphin then disappears in the water which is when the unvoiced thoughts happen, and the mental connections between a to z is made.
NT's only see the breach of the water which is just a faction of what is happening beneath the surface which is why confusion happen when a ND goes from talking about mango to orchids.

Hym "I had better not have brain worms in my head because I swear to God I will make you eat your own kids. It had better not be that. And if so you had better hurry the fuck up because it's about to be lunch time for you if you don't get that shit out of my head IMMEDIATELY!"

The headache immediately following a day of thinking through distractions. And arguing with invisible friends. Unsuccessfully...

A phrase used to describe the phenomenon caused by the quarantine and isolation measures put in place for COVID-19. When someone starts saying weird or out of character shit, doing out-of-pocket unnecessary things or regressing to things they used to like when they were younger during a pandemic, they are probably suffering from Pandemic Brain.
A: My older brother is really stressed out from isolating, he started blasting mr. brightside by the killers last night for no reason. We're not in 2007 anymore!
B: Ah...sounds like he's got the pandemic brain
