=Stream of Consciousness=

[|Stream of Conciousness] is a literary technique developed (and popularized) mostly in the 20th century which seeks to truly capture and convey a character's thoughts and feelings by spontaneously pouring out sensory and perceptual information to the reader. This style often lacks the structure and logic present in other literary styles, and may even disregard standards of grammar. The term Stream of Consciousness, which was coined by psychologist William James, is often confused with interior monologue, which is a more structured device similar to soliloquy.
