special powers

My dad told me that light is made up of photons, and he casually mentioned that "no one can see a photon." I was convinced that I was the only one who could see them because I thought that the dust particles you can see under a desk lamp where "photons."

When I was a kid, I believed I could fly. And oddly enough, I have memories of flying around on the playground at my preschool. So... yeah... maybe I could fly...

Erin

I honestly believe that I could fly! Until I fell dont the stairs and broke me arm!

when i was around 5 or 6 i believed i could fly so much my mother had to keep me off school as i would try and jump from the top of the stairs.

I used to believe that i could talk to the wind and had powers. I would be waiting for my bus and you would hear me talking to no one saying "stop blowing, I'm getting cold!!'. Eventuallly I *convinced* the wind that It shouldn't blow around any more because the poor leaves were getting lost.

I used to think I could read peoples minds because I always knew what card they were going to choose from a deck. As I got older I realized that I was sub-consciously calculating the most likely choice of that person.

I used to think that when I got mad I would get stronger, similar to the Hulk from Marvel comics, because when some one made me mad I would some times pick them up off the ground. I later realized it was only an adrenaline rush.

The Hulk

When I was little, I believed that if I closed my eyes and crossed my legs, I could levitate. I still remember though as if it were yesterday, and I am 15 now. I felt weightlessness whenever I did that, which led me to believe that I could levitate. I still wonder what would happen if I had opened my eyes.

Now that I am older, I still do not understand what happened. But something else is stirring in me, the origin of which is unknown to me. I am stronger, faster, and have a decently sharper mind than my friends. I am also tall for my age, some people mistaken me for being old enough to vote. I swear there is something different about me.

When I was 10, I used to believe that I could control and talk to wind and my friend could control water. I used to "direct" the wind and I used to have conversations with the wind.

When I was young I used to have dreams in which I would be at home and everything felt extremely real. Then at some point I would hear an incredible thumping of footsteps coming towards me down the hallway. I would try to wake up, I would even know that I was asleep, and at some points I am positive I was halfway between dreaming and awake. Then my brain felt like it was shaking and there was alot of pressure. I would always manage to breakt out of it, but even when I was awake I could still feel my head ringing. At the time I had no idea what to think, now looking back it scares me, as I heard all that stuff about Astral Projection and the fact that evil 'spirits' are able to take over your body while it is unoccupied. I don't 100% believe that is what happened, but then again I dont know either. Also I have to quote an entry I read on page 1, about the lights.

"My belief has not been explained away by age or anything else for that matter. Since I was a child ( 40 now) When I walk, jog or drive by street lamps they will turn off. Not all of them just one or a few. This happens more frequently when I am either extremely mad/upset or happy. The time of the month has nothing to do with it & I have already contacted our Electric company to see if the street lamps were on a certain schedule etc. I also have to replace my own household lightbulbs weekly. SOOO I guess I still do believe in MY special power altho I am not sure what it is!

That happens to me too sometimes. I just thought it was the lights the first few times, but then the same lights I passed kept flickering out or turning on. Weird.

I used to believe that if you close your eyes you turn invisible. you know wut i mean. i cant see you then you cant see me.

I still belive that if you ran fast enough at a wall, you could run through it. So far, you can't.

Speed of light

When I was 4, I thought I turned into a wolf when I ran up my house's stairs. Going down on hands and knees, I tried to gallop up as fast as I could.

But that was when I was 4....

I used to think that if I saw someone from school that I didn't like elsewhere, like the movies or something, I could hunch over and squint my eyes and they wouldn't reognize me and wouldn't try to talk to me. I must have looked pretty stupid a lot of the time, as there were quite a few people I didn't like from school.

When i was little i hated cooked carrots. My older sister told me they would make me see in the dark and even better would make me run as fast as a rabbit. I was really into sprinting at the time and was 3rd fastest at school so started eating loads of cooked carrots. My sister still finds this hilarious as does my Mum.

Holly

I used to believe I could control the wind. I used to stand in our rather blowy paddock and yell at the wind to stop. My best friend beleived me too. I think it mayv'e stopped when we stood behind a big tree :)

Ok, so I'm not sure if this was a dream or not... but I clearly remeber when I was little that I could fly. I used to jump off of the old coffee table in my living room and flap my arms. I remeber jumping so far that it seemed like i was flying. I clearly remeber it like it actually happend, but it seems so unreal it must have been a dream...but to this day, I beleive that I used to beable to fly.

When I was little I used to beelive in many odd things. I used to beleive that I was an indian like pokahontis, but my name was Pikadolo. And i had the power that I could change into a tiger. I used to go around the school growling at people...I also used to beleive that since I was an indian, I could heal things. This one time I saw a tree with a broken branch, and I patched it up with snow and convinced myself that in a few days the tree will be healed...
