This looks like the type of snapshot one gets if one drops their camera on the ground and the shutter happens to fire. Without any particularly interesting cloud formation or a clear focal point, this just looks like a random section of clouds. The B&W emphasizes the texture of the clouds, but I think that in this case the (presumably) blue sky would have been more interesting than the shades of gray.
Good dream picture - it fits what I imagine a dream to be, for my taste, it's missing something. I can't put my finger on what, though. Maybe a bird or something? The composition seems good overall, however.
This is my second go-around =) - I really like your idea for the challenge! It just feels like this picture is missing something and I can't quite pin-point it. It needs an extra "kick"... maybe increasing contrast, duotone, color, add grain. The photo is okay, but just fells like there should be something more.... sorry I can't really help you. I think it's a 5 because it's technically a great photo... I just think it's missing that little "kick" to put it over average.
