A narrational technique that attempts to approximate the flow (jumble, play, images) of mental and sensory impressions that pass through the mind. These impressions are often ungrammatical, and they may appear incoherent, choppy, or fragmented. This lack of coherence should not imply sloppiness or randomness, but instead it should suggest a narrational mode that is intensely subjective. Unlike epistolary narration, which can also be intensely subjective, there is no narratee -- no actual audience for the flow of information. Both epistolary and stream-of-consciousness narration are carefully constructed narrational devices intended to reveal characteristics and events of a single mind or life.
