The answer is little long!
First is Did Freud really say: Where does a thought go when it's forgotten?
its a famous construct of Freudian psychology but it's not in "The Interpretation of Dreams" and may be it's not from Freud at all but here is the possible answer. 1/n https://twitter.com/iGreenGod/status/1289194424702926848

A thought is connection between our neurons:
A way of interpreting this is just a loss of connection. Since neurons are not typically a one to one relationship, they create dense & complex network of connections around the brain, when the connection is missing we forget!

If connection is there and let's focus on signal strength.
If this signal is interrupted by something else, then it may not produce the same effects as it would if it hadn't been disturbed & we would give less importance to a friend saying Hey bruh, among 10 other profs shouting

next is just a weak memory, or a memory which hasn't been activated in long time. Do you remember the first time you played with an a phone? or Kissed hand of your girlfriend? This is simply because you haven't really thought about it a whole lot. Its different from above!

The pointing issue, the thought must be lying there itself, where it originally was, the only thing which happens is that we 'forget' the location (Pointer), where it resides!
Btw same thought comes again to surface, when we encounter something in the surrounding? yes !!
