Attn. All Writers! A Place to Share Your Dreams. Literally.

Welcome to this week’s Man Repeller Writer’s Club prompt. One of my favorite things about Man Repeller is that I’ve truly tricked myself into believing that together, we’ve established a platform that facilitates the sharing of our dreams. I, or Amelia, or any number of our hugely talented freelance writers share our piece, then you add yours and together we construct what has (at least in my mind’s eye) become the profoundly prolific vision that encompasses Man Repeller. We live in a Utopic digi-ciety, friends! Where we can say what we want, produce our own weird mandates (banned word lists, camel toe take-backs, man bun cogitations) and declare dieting a labor of love that ends in basketball jerseys.

But for the sake of hyper-literalization, just this one time, let’s forget the dreams we’ve consciously cultivated and tap into the subconscious conundrums that arise while we slumber with this question: what’s the weirdest dream you’ve ever had? Were your teeth falling out? Did a tidal wave eat you up and then transport you into a sort of garden that grew bucket hats as opposed to vegetables and flowers?

One time, while dormant, I had my tongue cut out of my mouth by a Roman man who was using me as an indicator that he was about to take over New York. My hair was set on fire and a helium balloon was shoved up my ass. And then up I went, across New York City, for everyone to see. I landed by the shores of Watermill near Bridgehampton and ran to a nearby museum where I yelled, “THE ROMANS ARE COMING, RUN FOR COVER.” Next thing I knew, I was inside a whale’s stomach eating candy I didn’t even want and before I could say, “There’s aspartame in that,” I was awake.

And that’s just the abridged digest, folks. But I digress. Now share yours! You know da drill: ~500 words (or a poem! Illustrated story book! Video compilation!) to be submitted to write@manrepeller.com by next Thursday, August 6th at 12 p.m. EST.

I’m so excited to connect with what happens to you while you sleep. TTYL!
