[header] How to write stream of consciousness [title] Choose a character or topic. [step] In general, stream-of-consciousness writing is tied to a particular character, as it is intended to illustrate the inner thought patterns of that character. For the character's thoughts, you could choose a multitude of topics, related or unrelated. 
This could include people, events, dreams, emotions, activities, items, or anything else. It's sometimes easier to start with a broader topic if it's the first time you've written stream-of-consciousness.
