"I was firmly convinced I could fly - I even have strong memories of flying or floating down the stairs. I think I probably could and it was only when I was told I couldn't that I stopped being able to."

Amazing. For a really long time, I felt the same way! I used to run down the stairs at home, because i thought (knew?) that I could just fly - but I never did, though... I think I dreamt it, but the dreams felt so... Real. I still dream that I can fly - it's always the same over again, me flying over the heads of my friends in kindergarden. (and now I'm fifteen so I've been having the same dream frequently for many years now). Sometimes I'm running down a hill, and halfway down, I levitate. Really cool (:
