What is stream of consciousness
IT IS WRITING IN WHICH THE THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS OF THE WRITER
ARE RECORDED AS THEY OCCUR.
It is a form of writing that, rather than having an obvious plot
with an obvious beginning and end, dips in and out, possibly of the
thoughts of the characters, demonstrating how they interact. It is
also used to refer to things that are not told in chronological
order, so we may be presented with memories, or future events
rather than the simple telling of an event in an ordered
chronological progression.
Some might mention Joyce or Virginia Woolf's The Waves as
excellent examples of stream of consiousness - I would like to
think that Red Dwarf and Life on Mars are also excellent examples
too!
