James Joyce is the father of Stream of Consciousness, and unlike many of his imitators, he spent years perfecting a single line or paragraph (one novel took over 10 years to complete,) so his stream is not just a boring jumble of monotone observations.
I don't expect you to read the whole chapter, but the first chapter of Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man describes a minds perception of it's first thoughts and childhood concerns. It rapidly goes from infancy to school age. The object is not to TELL the story but to experience it.
