William James introduced the useful metaphor of the Stream of Consciousness to psychology. He argued that conscious thought shared many characteristics with water moving through a channel. Like a stream, thought flows continuously and is dynamic (constantly changing). Sometimes thoughts are calm but at other times they can be turbulent, and thoughts can have depth.
