Chasing one's dreams can be both a rollercoaster ride of highest highs and lowest lows. But as I have learned throughout my life, the more important something is to you the higher the stakes you put up to accomplish it. While there are usually bumps in the road we can't let them derail us completely and keep us from achieving what we yearn for. We only have one life, we might as well live it the best we can, right?
For today's prompt we managed to drag in quite a few sleepy and dreaming ponies with a total of 162 ponies! This brings our grand total to 685 ponies in all, keep it up, everyone! We're already halfway to our first makeup/rest day!
So we've gotten our ponies moving, emoting and you stretch your legs as you chased some dreams but the art world is more than just art itself! Art is also getting to know your fellow artists, making friends and working together! Of course, it can be a little hard to break the ice at times so it's nice to start by sharing something simple to find some common ground. So for tonight's prompt I'd like you all to Draw a pony enjoying your favorite food or if you're shy on sharing Draw a pony family moment. (And yes, feel free to substitute meat dishes with a veggie version).
As always you can find the submitter here.

7 Equestria Daily Artist Training Grounds 2020 04 - Meto30
Sunset Shimmer ATG continues. I originally had a more ambitious plan for Prompt 4, "Pony passed out / pursuing their dreams", but I decided that depicting Sunset being cute was a more desired choice, so I went for "Sunset passed out". The part of Sunset dreaming about Celestia came later, as a way to fulfil both prompts. I haven't done a lying down pose in a long time; the result you see here is a result of a laborious process involving multiple re-design, despite how it may seem as. XD Well, again, all the more reason for me to practice! Gotta keep drawing.
9 Lil' Cheese's Naptime - EbonyCrystal1986
Pinkie Pie THOUGHT she was ready for motherhood thanks to all of the babysitting she did for the Cake Twins over the past several years, but she had NO idea just how much energy her Lil' Cheese had bundled up in such a tiny body! After a VERY long night and early morning of feeding, playing and changing with the little one, needless to say BOTH of them were ready for a WELL deserved nap!
15 Filly Starlight Passed Out - Daimando
Now it's Starlight Glimmer's turn. For this one, I had to go into Source Filmmaker and come up with the desired pose for Starlight. After a few tweaks, I have Starlight GLimmer passed out on her back, completely asleep. Someone feels a bit worn out.
20 Chasing a Dream - Th3iPodM0N
24 Unconcious Place - Khaki Cap
I wanted to give another try to make a picture using watercolors. It's based on my first experience with epilepsy. First, it's normal world. The second you close your eyes... *poof*... you're unconcious, your head hurts, you don't know what happened and you feel sleepy.
26 Drunken Snooze - Rapidsnap (Gary Mitchelhill)
Octavia was unamused to find Vinyl passed out in the open after an all night drinking session.
30 Sketch Sketch Sketch! - Khaki Cap
Probably the only "dream" that Khaki craves for now. Other than that, Khaki has other "dreams" for the future.
35 The Horror - NotADeliciousPotato
ATG Day 4: Draw a passed out pony.
"The horror", indeed.
While only Daisy is passed out right now, you can be sure that the other 2 will be quick to join her on the floor.

Look! RD passed out! ..... I-I'm volunteer to give her a mouth-to-mouth!
37 Finally some sleep - Ragmo
Didn't have much sleep today, so that's litarally me rn :D
Because of that, i didn't spend as much time as normal on that one. Head and lower jaw are a bit to big; and the pose could be a bit more 'pushed forward'

43 The World In Color - ElectraDust
Madelyn was born completely colorblind, but set off on the journey to invent something that could allow her to see all the colors of the win- I mean world.
So she worked with technology wizard Ben and created a prototype. It allowed her to see some color, but still very desaturated color.
The two took the prototype to Vanhoover, where they worked for ten years until they had the first functional pair of glasses.
After moving back to Manehattan, she was able to put on her first working pair and see the world in color for the first time, truly see her hubby for the first time, and Terry took her to a firework show for the first time.

44 The perfect cake - Kaikururu
I love Celestia and luna so much, I wanted to draw something funny with them. and since luna controls the dream world I imagined her pulling pranks on Celestia with them occasionally

47 Moondancer at the Races - Litrojia
Moondancer isn't exactly a sporty pony.
I stretched the prompt of a passed-out pony a little bit for this one, sorry :p
Second part of a series featuring Moondancer racing. Both parts are included in the link.

58 Chasing their Dreams AND Passed Out - Termyotter
"Draw a passed out pony / Draw a pony chasing their dreams"
OK, why not both?
Using an OC of mine chasing the dream of working in science... Thing is, science can be very long and boring. The "chase" can be tedious, dull, and loooooong!
Don't ask how the beaker got there.

Like we remember, overweight Princess Amore's best result in 100 meters was 50 meters.
68 Passed Out - MelodiousMarci
We all know Dashie was the pony always sleeping in Applejack's trees, so who's the say she doesn't still sleep a lot, just in her own bed now

88 - dzamie
"Silver Quill - you amorous avian - how did you get Luna to agree to play tag with you?" The prompt mentioned dreams, so how could I not draw the Princess of The Night? Then add in one of my favorite reviewers to chase her a bit so the prompt is actually fulfilled.
...what do you mean Silver Quill isn't a pony? Look at his butt. Look at it.

95 Do Changelings Dream of Princesses? - midnight-anomaly
In the AU that only exists for this one picture, Chrysalis has always dreamed of being a pirate, going on swashbuckling adventures and saving pretty princesses of the night.
Also doubles as a Chrysalis Day post.
Had a busy day and only had around two hours for this one, didn't have time to finish the dream or do any coloring. I'll probably submit a colored version when the first makeup day happens. Maybe not, Chrysalis's hair makes her look more crazy than the sleepy look I was going for.

100 Day 4 Lex Luger Challenge - silverRoddo jD
It is just show where characters sleep like Lex Luger did on the Lex Express. That is it. Needless to say they passed on the show.
102 Dreaming High - Harbinger
It goes like this:
"In the foreground we can see a young silver coated unicorn mare taking a nap.
On the light green wall behind her there is hanging a poster, that is actually her nation’s space forces propaganda poster.
Inscription on that poster says ‘AMONG THE STARS’ which is a reference to the freedom of cosmic space.
In the right-bottom corner stands a brown table with five violet-pink tulips in glass vase on it.
Besides the vase with flowers on that table there is also filled and signed space forces enlistment form.
Right-top corner is occupied by a dream cloud.
That dream cloud contains a vision of future, where our sleeping mare is piloting her very own starfighter called ‘Silver Phoenix’"
Ok, that's it.
By the way, sorry for bad picture quality. I just need to get some better paper.

117 Simple mare, simple dreams :) - Joyous Tempo
Decided to combine the prompts. Applejack just sprang into my head for some reason, and then Luna joined in at around the middle!
127 Sleep - Frith
Yes, there is a pony in there. In the Do Princesses Dream of Magical Sheep episode, Princess Luna passes out and dreams of herself sleeping on an islet in an exotic moonlit valley. I liked that scenic dreamscape, so I drew that. It took hours. I had intended to paint it but oh la la! No way could I make the deadline.
128 Secrets of the Universe - Cornerback Fluttershy
131 Let Sleeping Pones Lie - Pone-Dancer
Tony has found some unsuspecting prey! Spyromaniac and Derek have somehow gotten along well enough for once to actually fall asleep next to each other. Will ruining this precious moment be worth it really? Yes. Yes it would. They're both going to be ticked!
Derek belongs to mariebite787 on deviantart.

Getting better, started *way* later than I should have an only had a couple hours, but I ironed out a sketch! Really getting down my eye/eyeliner style and I'm getting a bit better at the hair, still having trouble though! Excited for tomorrow!

Button Mash is Studying so his mom will buy him the game Dreams.
(If I had known from the outset how ridiculously chaotic and difficult to draw the Dreams cover art was I'd have gone in a different direction)
