Theme: Dreams

 

Word Count: 1500 words

 

Genre: We are looking for both fiction and nonfiction pieces in all formats – short stories, memoirs, poetry, journalistic articles, flash fiction/nonfiction, think pieces, etc.

 

More about our theme: ​Our theme for this issue is dreams. Whether that be the goals and aspirations you aim to achieve throughout your life or the fantasies that live in your head while you’re asleep, dreams are a key component to the human experience. Whichever direction the writer chooses to take, dreams can be interpreted in any sense. The different interpretations can be intertwined to create a piece of work that inspires who you are as a writer and who you aim to be. In all genres, dreams can be portrayed as the things we want the most out of life, the nightmares that haunt us while we sleep, or the daydreams we hyper focus on during the most mundane part of our lives. Think of your dreams subjectively, allowing the reader to connect to your piece in a more personal way. Consciously or unconsciously, which prospects of your dreams haunt you the most?
