Dreams · 2:37am Aug 3rd, 2021
I've become lucky enough over the last several years to have a re-occurring theme in my dreams. Not every night - I don't even remember my dreams every night, and then not 100% of the time when I do remember them.
Mostly, it's the old saw of flying, with a notable twist - I'm flying via telekinesis. Very pointedly telekinesis - no wings, no tech (which seems weird if you know me much).
Sometimes the power manifests itself in other ways. A few times I've been the worlds fastest welder. About 50% of the time I can stick/walk/skate on other surfaces. Crowds notice, but never as much as they would in reality.
The firs time I had a dream like this - I held an egg about a foot away from my hand. I could feel the entire surface at once, ever little bump. It was weird because there are normally small parts your fingers don't feel when you pick up an egg, but I didn't have that here. Beyond that, I could feel the potential for TK in my head. It's like the pressure you feel at the bottom of a pool, except instead of the water pressing in, this pressed out. Not painfully so, mind you.
Most of the time for these dreams, it starts with a single step forward into the air. I have to concentrate for a minute and there's no visual effect even for myself. But my foot will "stand" on nothing, and then the other foot will, and I'm floating.
In most of these dreams I only go 10-20 ft up. Once I went right above the trees but usually not even that. Just enough for better vantage and easier movement. In these dreams I'm also pretty wobbly and not fast. I have to learn from 0 every time. I think it's getting a little smoother over the years though. My imagination remembers, even if the rest of me doesn't.
The age old questions of "which superpower would you want?" never gets old, but I will admit I feel like I have an advantage. I'm always fantasizing about telekinetically carrying groceries. I 100% believe my mind would be able to lift way more than my arms can. I would do all sorts of mundane stuff with it.
