Stream of consciousness

Stream of consciousness info link

What about stream of consciousness in images rather than words?

When this literary technique is used skillfully, it imitates the way the human brain processes images and puts them into words. The reader literally takes a look inside the characters' head. So we have thoughts painted in images by putting thoughts into words and images recalled in the reader's head and interpreted by the reader.

But what if you immediately start out with images, instead of just using words? Would it make the experience of a stream of consciousness even stronger? And what if you could see your own stream of consciousness real time in images. Besides possibly being scary, wouldn't it influence your stream of consciousness? Creating some sort of dialogue?

Am picking up As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner tomorrow!
