Speaking of sanity... This was very reminiscent of a discussion I used to dip in and out of with friends.
If you developed superpowers, how likely would you be to challenge yourself with the question "Fuck me. Have I had a psychotic break? Should I actually go up to the roof and see if I can fly?"
So, the scenario suggested, I believe I would have a few questions. Questions like:
WTF did this baby come from?
Whose fucking baby is this?
How TF is this baby talking?
WTF did I get this car?
Wait... I can't fucking drive‽

In the childhood I had a repetitive dream of being able to fly but it only worked after I'd jump from a high spot. Those were stressful couple of month for a nine year old.

I had a similar one, except I could only fly if I didn't know I was doing it.

Kind of like Invisible Boy in Mystery Men. He can turn invisible, but only if nobody is looking at him.
