Good day, Dreemers.

It's early morning for me, afternoon for some of you and evening for the rest. You won't actually read this until I send it this evening - which is already Monday morning for many. Life on an international spectrum keeps us on our toes and moving, chasing, circling each other!

We have passed by another full year of dreeming.

Have you dreemed? Have you?

I wonder if there are dreemers who are new and who really don't know the meaning of the word "dreem". It's not just a cutesy way to misspell dream - it actually has a meaning..

Dreaming is when you are lost in fantasy and very content to live passively in a world beyond your control. DrEEming is where you take all the best things from your dreams, and realize that you have the potential to build that world into reality with faith, drive, imagination and - the blessing of a teem is always nice too!

Our six week Dreemer of the Year challenge begins today, and the main focus of this year's challenge is going to be... "the dreem".

We want you all to finish out the year by STARTING on next year's path - EARLY. Set in motion the DREAMS that you'd like to morph into DREEMS.

It's not as difficult as you'd think. It all begins with what's inside you! And we want to poke and prod and provoke you into taking some leaps this coming year!

Of course, this will be a competition and the dreemer with the most points will be our 2023 Dreemer of the Year. but.... this is ALSO how people will be earning DIGS for the December Treasure Hunt! So - do as much or as little as you like!!!

The FIRST (and most obvious) way that you can earn points is by submitting VALID posts into DreemPort. As long as the post isn't rejected by screeners/Guild - it will earn you one point per day!

The SECOND way to earn points is to participate in the CHALLENGE posts. The first challenge post will be due this Thursday by end of DreemPort day (5pm PACIFIC).

And HERE is your challenge question:

Describe your DREEM SPACE. This doesn't have to be a place that is currently in existence, BUT - if it isn't, tell us something that you could ACTUALLY create this year as your dreem space. It doesn't have to be luxurious, or expensive! Just tell us what it looks like, why you need it, what materials you need to create it, what kind of budget would it cost, could you make it less expensive in order to make it actually happen next year, do you have the skills it takes to make this place, etc.

Bring us into your heart and mind as you build this place virtually in your post for us!

And as you're writing your post and visualizing yourself in that space, challenge yourself to think.... could you ACTUALLY make this place for yourself in 2024??? How can you START to turn this dream into a dreem, dreemer???

There will be MORE ways to earn points for Dreemer of the Year - but let's START with these two, and add on as we go! That way it's a slow build - hopefully without overwhelming anyone!!

Start writing your first challenge post now!!! Don't wait - put your heart and mind into it and invite us to share in this DREEM with you!!

Good luck, Dreemers!!!
