"Stream of consciousness" heat is much higher in the domestic humanity study than abroad. The domestic study tends to generalize the stream of consciousness technique in terms of "inner monologue","free association","montage" and "psychological time", stressing the "flow of consciousness" and "subconscious" and the portray of "inner reality". This paper attempts to prove that the stream of consciousness technique in Ulysses has a relatively strong "exclusiveness", which means it is more difficult to be applied to other text.Joyce is a genius with "Hand of God", and his talent enabled him to know all the mysteries of language, and stand outside and overlook the rules of language. The premise of the success of "stream of consciousness" technique in Ulysses is that Ulysses is a master piece of Joyce who possessed unusual talent of language. There is hardly anyone who can compose a similar work. Only such works of such a writer can hold the spectacular technique of "stream of consciousness".The paper will talk about "stream of consciousness" technique in Ulysses in two aspects. The first is the generative poetic language. To some extent, it achieved the purpose of expressing subconscious which is "beyond language". The second is the creation of new words. Crack sentences and digestion syntax set barrier for linear and logical language, thus "non-logical","broken" language symbol, are a metaphor of the "non-logical","irrational" consciousness. The success of "stream of consciousness" technique in Ulysses is the genius of Joyce painstaking efforts. The summary of some syntactic and lexical rules can’t be simply classified as "stream of consciousness" technique and used by others.
