"Stream of Consciousness" in Literature

Essentially, the stream of consciousness is a Yu Nian left over from different places due to the associative ability endowed by the environment or situation.

Stream of consciousness breaks the single and linear development structure of traditional novels, and is basically based on the sequence of story plots or the logical connection between plots. The narrative of the story does not advance in a straight line according to the progress of time, but organizes the story through free association with people's conscious activities. In stream-of-consciousness novels, the arrangement of stories and the connection of plots are generally not limited by time, space, logic or causality, but often show the jump and change of time and space, and there is a lack of close logical connection between time and place between two scenes. Time often crosses or overlaps in the past, present and future. However, such works are not chaotic and messy, and free association is not groundless and rambling. This kind of novel often centers on an event that was happening at that time. Through triggering, people's conscious activities are constantly diverging and recovering in all directions, and after repeated cycles, a flourishing three-dimensional structure is formed.
