I've not found any yet so here's my shot at one right before October starts!
💭 Daydreamtober 💭
(or really daydream[insertanymonthhere])
Honestly this is just the same as any other art challenge: write, draw, collage, do whatever you please! Skip prompts, mix them, finish late, start early, as you wish! Just have fun and don't overwork yourself 💟
Last year, on my old account, I made a daydream prompt list in the form of a daydreamtober challenge. This year, since I'm planning on also doing kinktober, I'm officially moving it to November (which i didn't want to do originally because of nanowrimo, but since their recent changes are bullshit, I don't care anymore).
Obviously my previous statement about doing this on whichever month you feel like still applies. There's pretty much no rules to this, just have fun and create, even if it's only from 3 prompts on the whole month and even if it's in 4 months.
I'm posting this quite in advance because I myself like to prepare for these challenges in advance.
You can use one prompt, two prompts, or all three, and even substitute with the bonus ones. The first ones are on the softer side, middle are spookier/angstier, thirds are more neutral, but use them however you feel inspired to.
As I said last year:

🪼No pressure: the owner is disabled and doing his best but doesn't want to force it (that does mean that until mods are acquired, activities may have breaks).
It happens to all of us at some point, and it sucks. here are some tips on how to deal with it from my experience.
There can be different or causes to it.
First, you have too many thoughts. Whether it's because you have a lot on your mind, because you're stressed, or whatever other reason, if your brain is too full, it can be hard to daydream.
Second possibility: your brain feels exhausted, empty. You're tired and it's hard to think, period.
Third, you're just out of ideas!
✦ If you can and like to meditate, meditation is one of the best ways to calm down your thoughts and give your brain some respite.
✦ Napping can help rest too! Depending on the person, this might not help if you're in the first case though - I know it doesn't for me for example.
✦ If you lack ideas, look up some prompts, or maybe get into a new series or book! You need to feed your creativity, along with letting it rest.
✦ Do something else! Go for a walk, do some coloring, try a new art form, change up your habits! This can both help you get inspired and rest your creative muscles.
✦ Chat with other daydreamers! Whether it's gushing or venting, not feeling alone is a great help in feeling better
Now, while those are great to help getting out of a slump, sometimes only time will truly get rid of the block.
In the meantime, there are ways you can stay connected to your paras and paracosms!
✦Make playlists your paras would listen to
✦Make moodboards
✦If you've written or drawn things related to your daydreamns, look at those
✦Make your paras a list of books they've read, would like to read, would dislike, etc! This can work with hobbies, movies, cartoons, food,…
✦Create a timetable of a typical work/school day of your para if it applies
✦Make jewelry for your paras; you can wear it to feel like they are with you or to think of them.
✦Make collages or art inspired by your paras, paracosms and daydreams! It can be super abstract!
✦Create outfit boards for your paras
✦Make memes about your paracosm
✦Try a meal or snack your paras would like!
✦Fill in personality quizzes as if you were your paras
Transparaself: a label for individuals identifying more with their paraselves than with their IRLselves, whether in part or fully, and who may wish to transition to be more like said paraselves.
What is a para? I have seen the term a lot in madd circles and suspect is has to do with paracosms yet people use the term to refer to what seem to be like character/ ocs like an entity? What does it mean. Could u break down the common used terms in the madd community and perhaps some other kin things or give links or find where I might find information? -from someone who also has madd
Sure, with pleasure!
In short, a para is a character in your daydream. If I recall correctly, the term was created because "oc" didn't feel fitting, as madders often spend a lot of time daydreaming, and therefore most have a special bond with their characters.
As for some other madd terms, well! (in very simple terms once again)
A paracosm is a world/storyline you daydream about!
You might also find the terms immersive daydreamer and neuronarrator around. Those are terms for vivid daydreamers who's daydreams aren't maladaptive.
A parame is the "main character" of your daydream, the one you "fol.low" during.
A paraself is a version of you in your daydream.
For more about all this (more terms, resources,...), i'd like to redirect you to @acircusfullofdemons 's Ultimate Daydreamer's Guide , it's a great resource!
For kin vocab, it's quite large but I can give a few words of info ^^
Fictionkin, fictionfolk and isofic are terms for people who kin a character or pop culture creature.
Objectkin is similarly built: it is a term for people who kin objects.
Conceptkin follows the same pattern: term for people who kin concepts (like chaos, life, death, fear,...)
Otherkin is a word for the comm unity, a bit like alterhuman. It's an umbrella term.
Therians typically refers to people who kin animals existing on this Earth.
Kinsidering is a term reffering to discovering a new kin, thinking about it.
A mental shift refers to when you have a period of time during which you think like your kintype (more so than usual)
A phantom shift refers to a period of time during which you feel your phantom limbs, aka the limbs and body parts your kintype has, but your current form doesn't.
