Stream of Consciousness

Stream of Consciousness

Stream of Consciousness is a mixture of all the levels of awareness, an unending flow of sensations, thoughts, memories, associations, and reflections; if the exact content of the mind is to be described at any moment, then these varied, disjointed, and illogical elements must find expression in a flow of words, images, and ideas similar to the unorganized flow of the mind. Stream of Consciousness technique has become as artifical and concention-bound as any other literary technique, although it may give the impression of illusion of preserving a lifelike resemblance to real consciousness. It is commonly uses the narrative techniques of interior monologue.
