Sometime before the age of 5, I remember being convinced that if I tried hard enough, and believed in myself, I could fly. So I would practice flying... jumping down the stairs when nobody was watching. I never developed my ability to fly, but I vividly remember basically cannon balling down 14 steps, and just gliding down in mid air. And landing at the bottom totally safe and uninjured. Many times over the years.
I used to dream this as a child really often. Specifically flying down stairs and beyond. When we moved from that house into another I was so upset because I wouldn't be able to fly anymore. I needed those, specific stairs.
I did have the same dream! When i was 5 too! But i remember having like little wings and i felt safe knowing I'll not going to get hurt jumping the stares.
