I used to believe I could fly. I used to share a room with my brother, and we had bunk beds. I had the top bunk. One night I had a dream, I was flying all around the world after I rubbed a magic genies lamp and wished to fly. I woke up and it all seemed so real. So, being the 5 year old I was, I jumped at least 7 feet on to the ground and popped all my knuckles on one hand INSTANTLY. MY face hit the ground and left a small bruise. That was the day I grew up

I used to believe that I could control wind. and for an strange reason all the time I tried to use my "powers" the worked. TO MANY HOURS WATCHING X-MEN!

When I was young our television did not have a remote control, or at the very least it had been lost. However our next door neighbour's did. I became convinced that I could turn the television on and off just by winking at it, unaware that the neighbour was infact doing so with the remote control. I always wondered why it would never work on our own television.

you know when you look at a bright light too long you see colored dots infront of your eyes well i used to believe that i was the only one who could do this and that i was magic because i knew how to do it

After watching the movie Matilda, I believed that I had the power to move things with my eyes, like her. All I had to do was learn to use them. I would always try to lift a spoon or tip over a cup just by looking at it. I even tried thinking about all the times my parents were "mean" to me to bring out the power (Matilda did that too)!

Well once when I was 10 I had just played Sonic The Hedgehog Battle yah,im addicted plus im a naturel at nintendo) and you can run through trees and blocks, so I went outside and thought about it,then, I ran at a tree head on... ouch!

Make believe Sonic The Hedgehog

When i was about 6 or 7, when i had a book with pictures of people in it i would draw on their faces like spots and scars etc with a red or any other colour pen, i believed that these markings would appear on their face wherever they were in the world. I have no idea why i ever thought this.

I convinced my younger sister that I was bionic. After school, I would run around the building and tell her I had just come from China and then pretend to speak Chinese. At night I would say "Did you hear that?" After she would say no I would say "Oh yeah I forgot, you're not bionic." I suppose that wasn't very nice of me.

Ivy

I used to think I was Wonder Woman! Don't I wish it was so now!

My dad used to bend his elbow, put his thum in his mouth and pretend to blow "into" it. At the same time, he'd flex his bicep muscle. I thought he was actually using his breath to inflate his muscle!

When I was little I thought that people could read my mind. to test this idea. I would think bad thoughts of them and see if they were angry.

I also believed that if I cleared my mind, that any thought wandering into my head was someone elses, and I would then ask everyone around me what they were thinking.

Kat

Oh gods, where to start?

Weeelll, when I was small I thought that by singing, I could make the wind blow. Oddly enough, the wind DID have a tendency to pick up when I sang. o_O

Also, I used to believe I controlled streetlights in the evening because we had a tendency to go out just as they flicked on, so we would go down the road and I would watch the lights go on one by one as we went by.

I also thought I controlled stop lights, and could make them be green. (I believed I had no control over making them yellow or red, but could make them green. Another girl younger then me *in my mind* ran the yellow, and a little boy controlled the red)

Wow. I was a strange little child.

when i was 4 or 5 i had a dream that i could make things float using my mind. i actually thought i could do this, but with extreme concentration and when no one was looking... yes i actually tried it,it didn't work :(

I could fly... I even remember what it felt like and how.

One time I went over to my friends house, and he has a very younger brother who never liked the peels of an apple. My friend got tired of peeling to apple so I told him to make something up. His brother was obsessed with becoming stronger, so we just told him the apple peals would make him as strong as a dinosaur... he believed us...

Nick

I used to believe that there was someone in the world that could read my mind and tried to find out who it was. I would go to restuarants or other public places and see someone, wonder if it was them, and try to send them messages like "raise your hand if you hear me" through my mind to see if that was the person.

When I was about 3 or 4, we lived in the country on a farm and my Dad would "shoot out the stars" for years I belived that my Dad DID in fact have the power to shoot out the stars...when I was about 12 I found out that he was just firing a tracer bullet from his rifle...

When i was about 6 i would go to my brother's baseballs games and play with other kids who had siblings playing baseball. There was a big rock there and we were convinced that if you jumped off it you could fly for a little while if you really believed. So we would take turns "flying" off and i jumped pretty far so i thought i was a good believer. part of this may have come from the song "i believe i can fly"

i believe i can touch the sky, i think about it every night and day, spread my wings and fly away...
