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

My brother (older) used to tell me that if I stayed under water long enough that when I ran out of air in my lungs that I could breathe through my pancreas! Well, I tried one day at the public pool, while my brother held me under water. I never struggled, as I believed him as I inhaled my first lungfull of water. After I was "brought back" by the lifeguard I really believed that the only reason that I survived was that I was breathing through my pancreas. I told everybody!

This was my daughter's belief that I inspired (I am one of THOSE moms!). When she was 3-4 yrs old, we had a coffee mug that would play music if light hit the bottom of it. She was amazed at my ability to make it "sing", so I let her in on the "secret". I demonstrated how I had to hold my tongue in a particular way for it to work (while at the same time picking it up - she hadn't connected THAT part of it). She was SO excited! When her father came home, she ran up to him with the mug and with her tongue sticking out saying, "Wook Tatty! I making it THING!!" (Look Daddy! I'm making it sing!!)
Barbara
Oh yeah, i ALSO used to believe (again, from watching too much Sabrina, I dream of Jeannie etc) that if i pointed my finger and just said the right words I could do spells - unfortunately I never could those right few words!

When I was very young.. probably 3, I honestly believed I could float. I thought I could jump, and instead of landing I could just leave my legs a little bent and float around instead of walking. I told my mom about it and tried to show her a bunch of times, but got mad at her when she wouldn't see it. I thought it was her fault it didn't work when she was looking because she'd look away too quickly. I also got mad at her for saying it was a good jump because it wasn't the jump I was trying to show her.

spawned from a dream no doubt, in junior school, i was convinced i could put my hand through things, suchas the top of my lunch box, tables etc, just took a little concentration. the dream was so real i can still remember the feel of the top of my lunch box on the sides of my hand as i pushed it through.

I use to believe my middle finger was bad!! If i touched anything with it without toucing it with my pointer finger (which was good)immediatly afterwards, something bad would happen.

I had a blackboard when I was 4-5 and believed if I saved up enough chalkdust, I could sprinkle it on myself and would be able to fly.
