As a child, I believed that when I closed my eyes to sleep, I was carried out of my bed, into the air and flew around. If I could open my eyes fast enough, I would be flying in mid-air. But I could never get my eyes open fast enough or even just get a little peek so I could prove it (at least to myself)
