How do we consciously think before translating it into word or image thoughts?

So we must have some kind of concious thought process before shaping the thoughts into words or images in our heads.

Do we know/can we guess what thinking like that consciously is like?

Do we just think by associating things together before words and images or something?

You should look into the "System 1" and "System 2" theories in psychology. They may answer those questions for you.
