Our brain produces over 90000 thoughts in 24h, awake and in sleep.
An idea is a thought concept, which has longer temporary duration;
ideas are time-tested and time-resistent tools of human thinking.
In this sense, it is not only (no more) tied to the physical body of the 'creator or initiator', once set into human circulation and motion, i.e. human ideas try to link to 'eternity'.
When we look at the definition of idea; "Reassembling two or more thoughts that we previously had but could not relate to". Briefly we can say; the idea is new combination of the old elements. Accordingly to this definition; everything that we think of is not an idea.

Dear Ilhami Unluoglu, Stephen I. Ternyik, Satish Narula, Emre Pakdemirli. Thank you very much for your kind answers. Stephen I. Ternyik, "Our brain produces over 90000 thoughts in 24h...," but those are not ideas all of. Then what are the criteria? For example, are environmental perceptions associated with the brain important or how much important? Is it an idea to think the weather is hot? Or, the produced senses by the sense organs or, feelings, etc.
An idea is the mental prototype of some action or mechanism explaining some phenomenon
Attention and arousal in the living human organism are driven by an emotional hierarchy of multiple goals; an idea is a cognitive mentalization of strongly perceived stimuli, but not necessarily as a response to a real physical event.
The temporal aspect (duration) is paramount, since an idea can be shared and therefore be disconnected from the original body of invention. The Hebrew Bible, for example, mentions this process in many passages as natural origination of ideas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arousal is the basic category of these mentalizations.
Whatever "mind" is, it is composed of a number of different things that seem difficult to define.
When I say I "think" I love my wife
Is it saying something different than when I say,
I " feel " I love my wife
or
I "believe" I love my wife?
or I "wish" I loved my wife.
or I used to love my wife.
are these variations of ideas?
A toothache is not an idea, though it is obviously in my brain somehow.
Is a memory an idea?
Is a dream an idea?
The concept of an idea seems to involve analysis of something external to ourselves.
