So I read alot of books that the author uses streams of thoughts... how they feel. Example memoirs maybe? With dialogue here and there. As that whats the word accepted when it would get edited? idk its a story definately that i can develop but if you read it would you be like damn am i in your head the whole time? im not sure maybe i am being too harsh of a critic of my own work.

If I understand your question correct, you're asking about stream of consciousness novels. There are definitely examples out there - quite a few famous writers used that method, atlhough I'm blanking at the moment...wow, that's pathetic of me :P But either way, yes, it can definitely work and feel free to do it that way.

How about Ernest Hemingway and Jack Kerouac as well? Oh, and Ken Kesey. And Chuck Palahniuk.
I'm largely using an SOC. It's fun, allows you give really novel views of things.
Now, what would be really cool would be multiple narrators, all doing SOC. Or maybe I'm just weird...

Try reading Faulker's The Sound and the Fury.
