I used to believe that i was Luke Skywalkers younger brother and that when i was 12 i would have jedi powers and would be able to contact luke with my mind and get him to pick me up in his spaceship, this was to be the first of many disappointments in my life.

I used to think I could fly. No joke. I wasn't on pot as a child. I also thought that Care Bears were real. I had imaginary friends too.

I was once told that if i closed my eyes that I would suddenly be hundreds of feet up in the air. I believed this for many years and whenever I tried to do it that I wasn't closing them hard enough. So I continued to try until I asked the person who had told me, I think it was my babysitter, to show me. When she tried she also failed and I soon realised that I would never be able to tell if I had so I gave up trying.
when i was about five years old, i woke up and stood on my cabin bed, breathed in deeply and then flew around my bedroom before landing on the floor and climbing back into my bed and falling asleep. to this day there's a part of me that believes i really did fly and that it wasn't just a dream...

During the height of The A Team's popularity I was given a Mr T pencil eraser, I was absolutely convinced that if I squeezed the eraser hard and long enough Mr T's facial expressions would change from angry to happy, I swear it happened once, then again perhaps not, unless.....

I used to believe that my dreams were real. I never gave up trying to fly, if I could do it in my dreams then why can't I in real life?!

I was about 4 and the first Superman was shown on TV. After the film finished, I thought I could fly like Superman. So I got onto the coffee table then 'flew' off. Then I knew I couldn't fly as my face got caught up in the gas fire grill (it was off at the time) and cut my face in several places, which one of these has turned into a noticeable scar under my lip.

I got tricked into believing that singing a certain song would blow up certain parts of the mountain. How else could they have made those huge stone quarries?(i remember it was a kinda catchy melody and the text being like... |||:Blow up the mountain :|||, HEY!
when I was about 3 or 4, I used to have dreams that I could fly down the stairs in my house. at that age I had trouble differenciating between dreams and reality. This led to a trip to the ER and 3 stitches in my head.

I used to believe I was an android after seeing the movie D.A.R.Y.L.L. I even thought of a cool name from my own name with dots in it. I used to think my parents repaired me at night when I was sick, in a secret computer room and they didn't want me to know. (Or anyone else, since I was a secret operation)
iused to believe that i could cook things by looking at them and a crazy sheep called jack would kill me in my sleep!!

About the age of 4 I truly believed that my sleeping pattern controlled the sun. It would rise when I woke up and it would set when I went back to bed so, naturally, I controlled it. My whole world changed when one day I awoke around noon (must have had a late night with my older brother.) I started freaking out, telling everyone how sorry I was for not bringing the sun out. I guess my grandma didn't have the heart to tell me the truth, she just told me not to sleep in again because the world needs the sun.

When I was very young, I really believed that I could fly. I realise now this must have been dreams, because I often fly in my dreams...

When I was little I thought certain people could 'hear' what I was thinking about. I got the idea from one of my teachers who just happened to have huge ears. Actually he was a very nice bloke but he just had really unfortunate ears. I think I was sitting in his class thinking to myself about how big his ears were… and then suddenly he turned and glared at me. (Probably because I was sitting looking dopey while I was supposed to be working.)
It seemed to me that the only logical conclusion was his colossal ears had allowed him to ‘hear’ what I was thinking about.
From there my belief expanded - I figured that in certain circumstances maybe anyone could 'hear' what I was thinking about - so whenever I mentally poured scorn upon anyone (unfortunately I was a very judgmental child) I would suddenly be struck with fear and dread in case the person had 'heard' what I'd been thinking.
After a while I began to suspect I was simply imaging things but this really just made things worse… for example... I'd see some guy on the street, and it might strike me that that person was abnormal in some way, so I'd think to myself - jeez how is it that individual come to be so fat, tall, skinny, ugly, stupid looking... whatever and then I'd suddenly think - Oh crap! I shouldn’t have thought that… he probably heard…. And then I'd think Nah don't be ridiculous people can't really hear your thoughts. But another part of my brain wouldn’t be convinced so easily. So I’d end up having this really stupid mental argument with myself about whether the guy would know what I was thinking or not – Finally I would have to tell myself to shut up in case the guy thought I was nuts arguing with myself.

I actually thought I had bionic hearing and vision like Steve Austin, and used to use it to look for friends in the playground

As A Child: I used to believe there was a magic cabin out deep in our woods that only I could see because it was in another dimension that only I was privvy to

I used to think if I tried hard enough and truly believed, that I could have those rays of "goodness" shoot from my stomach like the Care Bears
