No I don't write down what I think, those were just some activities I do that came to mind while typing this up. But to answer you're question, when writing I will think about what I'm writing, well depending on what I'm writing yes sometimes I do write down what I'm thinking which doesn't work well because it doesn't make sense and nothing is in order. For example, I've typed this three times just because things were out of order and it didn't make sense. I'll be writing something then something new will pop into my head and I'll write that but then something related to my previous thought will pop up so I'll erase/delete and go back to write that in. This happens with anything I'm writing about. And both actually, sometimes it's in-depth with only a few things or I'll start off thinking about a table then one thought will lead to another and I'll some how end up thinking about death (just as an exapmle). I can focus on one single thought, but not for very long before I start thinking about something else. This could be why I don't remember my dreams, or when I do they make no sense what so ever but seem natural because it's natural thought process for me. That's about as well as I can explain it. As for it getting worse, over the past few years yes, but it's seems to be stable and not getting any worse these past like 6 months.
idk it's very different from the way I think. I sometimes get "sucked in" by my thoughts or imagination, but it's a lot more reflective and emotional (like remembering things), not racing and abstract.
it sounds like your thoughts are racing ahead of themselves and you're having trouble keeping up with them. Krazykat might be right about ADHD. I'm not too familiar with it, but found a test you can do online (http://psychcentral.com/addquiz.htm) I hope this will help you find out more. Also make sure you get enough sleep as that should help with thought processing. If this keeps bothering you too much, seeing a specialist would be a good idea.
