A childhood belief about i'm different

When I was 5 or so and asked my mom where I had come from, she said something to the effect that I came from high above (meaning heaven). Well, in our house, the living room is an addition that's two stories high, with a ceiling fan in the middle -- it was the "big room" to me. So one night I dreamt that I had appeared one day holding onto the cord of the ceiling fan in the big room, with my family standing on the floor looking up at me. They asked who I was, and I said, "I'm your new kid." I let go and they caught me, and I woke up convinced that that was how I was born.
