Illumination state

Explanation:

The illumination state of the creative process gets its name from the metaphor of a light bulb coming on. It refers to someone being enlightened by a flash of creativity.

Usually creative people (inventors, artists, etc.) are illuminated when they are not actually trying to solve a problem, the term "eureka" is famous because Archimedes used it when he got a new idea for an invention.
