Is there a Pali name for a state of being in which one experiences “craving without a target”?

I am speaking of a state of mild but persistent agitation in which one notices the arising of the habit of (1) sorting through the current collection of unresolved discomforts with the intention of picking one to latch onto, (2) orienting oneself towards the desired sensory experience and (3) re-entering the cycle of greed, hatred and delusion with respect to that desired sensory experience BUT chooses not to re-enter the cycle. I am speaking of a very unusual state in which the cycle of samsara is not entered but neither has the agitation to re-enter it ceased. Kind of like “craving without a target”. Kind of like an inner conflict between (1) a part which wants to relieve the agitation by latching onto a target for craving and (2) a part which wants to find a more skillful means of extinguishing the agitation. Kind of like being in a hinterland between suffering and the end of suffering. I have a vague intuition this state *might* be related to “stream entry” but I am not certain about that. Does this sound similar to anything the Buddha spoke about?
