المعنى
Something suddenly coming to mind.
خلفية ثقافية
In Turkey, if you say 'aklıma [food] düştü', it's almost a social obligation for those around you to help you get that food. It's tied to the concept of 'canı çekmek' (one's soul pulling/craving). Songwriters use this phrase to describe the 'falling' of a beloved's image into the mind as a source of beautiful pain or 'hüzün' (melancholy). Calling someone because they 'fell to your mind' is a high compliment in Turkey. It shows that the person exists in your 'gönül' (heart-mind) even when they aren't present. There is an old belief that if a pregnant woman's 'aklına düşen' (craved) food is not provided, the baby might have a birthmark in the shape of that food.
The Craving Hack
If you want to sound like a local, use this phrase whenever you see a food advertisement and suddenly want that food.
Case Sensitivity
Always remember the -a suffix. 'Aklımda düştü' is a very common mistake that sounds like the thought fell while it was already inside your head, which is nonsensical in Turkish.

Romantic Nuance
Saying 'Aklıma düştün' to a crush is much more powerful than 'Seni düşündüm'. It implies they are constantly present in your subconscious.
Vowel Dropping
Don't forget that 'akıl' becomes 'aklı-'. If you say 'akılına', people will understand but it sounds very foreign.
