Dopamine, Creativity and Schizophrenia

i came up with a term for this ability to be both very creative and loose and random while also being able to switch into a very logical, analytical, judgemental, executive mindset:

groglogic

where the grog refers to drunkeness or sleepiness/dreams

The real term is lateral thinking.

Thanks. But arguably there are no 'real terms'. Just words given meaning by those who coin them. And we are all free to coin terms. That said, I have heard that term before (just checked it on Wikipedia too), but it doesn't cover what I refer to as groglogic.
