Welcome to the Mastermind Season 8 Submission Thread! If you wish to participate in this season, please respond to the following writing challenge prompt.
Challenge
Suppose you are in a lucid dream. This lucid dream lasts for an entire month in your dream world but only one night in the real world and you have complete control over what happens in this dream. Write a 2000-word short story that vividly describes the experience of having this dream. This experience does not need to be exclusive to the events you encounter in the dream itself. Some parts of your story can focus on what happens to you and your surroundings before and after the dream. Finally, the dream you refer to does not need to be a dream you have had before (i.e, you can make up all the relevant details as needed to complete this challenge).
Once you have completed the challenge, please reply to this submission thread. In your reply, you must include a link or an attached file to your submission.
Replies to THIS thread will close on Tuesday November 5th, 2024 at 11:59pm EST.
