What is stream of consciousness? 
Stream of consciousness is a style or technique of writing that tries to capture the natural flow of a character's extended thought process, often by incorporating sensory impressions, incomplete ideas, unusual syntax, and rough grammar.

  • Stream of consciousness writing is associated with the early 20th-century Modernist movement.
  • The term “stream of consciousness” originated in psychology before literary critics began using it to describe a narrative style that depicts how people think.
  • Stream of consciousness is used primarily in fiction and poetry, but the term has also been used to describe plays and films that attempt to visually represent a character's thoughts.
  • Stream of consciousness writing allows readers to “listen in” on a character's thoughts.  Stream of consciousness can be written in the first person as well as the third person.
  • Stream of consciousness seeks to portray the actual experience of thinking, in all its chaos and distraction. Stream of consciousness is not just an attempt to relay a character's thoughts, but to make the reader experience those thoughts in the same way that the character is thinking them.
