No, Bill, I think not. The concept of 'idea' is not cognate with the concept of 'perception', which you seem to me to be implying. Or, to put it differently, you are begging the question [in the correct philosophical sense of ignoratio elenchi] as to where such an 'idea' would, or could, have come from in the first place.
