#TheStreamofConsciousness
The Stream of Consciousness refers to the flow of thoughts in the conscious mind, and also is a narrative mode that seeks to portray an individual's point of view by giving the written equivalent of the character's thought processes, either in a loose interior monologue, or in connection to his or her actions. It is the continuous flow of sense‐perceptions, thoughts, feelings, and memories...and also the connections or mingling through the thought process.
In literature, this mode was pioneered by Dorothy Richardson in Pilgrimage (1915–35) and by James Joyce in Ulysses (1922), and further developed by Virginia Woolf in Mrs Dalloway (1925) and William Faulkner in The Sound and the Fury (1928). Hard to read out, uh? As hard to watch out a David Lynch movie…
When we start to think in a #lateral way, either through a planned #Ideation session or just while watching commercials on TV, we are able to sense that our mind is working in a different way: faster most of the time, sudden pace changes, …until we come up with ideas that nothing have to do with the original issue. But if we are quieter and listen to our thoughts thoroughly, what is more impressive is the lack of blank or pause-between-sections. One thought mingles with the next, sometimes without even a comma.
Mr de Bono explained us that one way to really quicken the pop-up of ideas is to become faster (by exercising lateral thinking) at concept association. These associations are the bonds and linkages throughout the thought.
Listening to your thought stream does not mean to slow the process. Some writers have the practice of creative writing by writing down every idea that comes to their mind, by letting the thought flow like a river of words. If you are not a writer, maybe you could use your voice recorder.
Would you dare? Would you dare to share it (vimeo, e.g.)? But What’s the point then?: to deliver the same problem or riddle to solve to different people, and to record the process for each individual.
There is a lot of abstraction and intuition in the world. Negativity restricts Creativity.-D. Lynch
