The phrase “Stream of Consciousness” explains the thoughts and feelings that constantly and infinitely passes through our mind. I related this idea of the Stream of Consciousness literally to a drawing of a Stream of Consciousness that I have found on Google. As I looked through the pictures of examples of stream of consciousness, this drawing “The Stream of Consciousness” by Jayzuck (I guess a nickname) looked the most fitting. The drawing is of an individual flowing along with the fish in a river/stream.

When I think, I just don’t think of one thing, I am constantly thinking of random or thought of things. It is not thought of bit by bit but rather feels as if it is a continuation of one thought to another, meaning we never ever stop thinking when we are conscious and our thoughts flow like water. That is why I believe the idea of stream of consciousness is depicted by this drawing. The fish in the stream of consciousness is our feelings and thoughts that can change with the individual since everyone thinks and feels differently. However, the fact that the state of consciousness flows like a river, changes constantly and is infinite is a fact.
