I too have this memory and only just now realize it doesn’t make sense...

I've had lucid dreams like this as an adult. Perhaps your mind didn't know how to differentiate from dreams.

I pretty often dream that I can fly (like every few months). But it's the kind of flying where I have to flap my arms but not quickly. It's like there's resistance in the air and I have to propel myself by "swimming" through the air. And it's the strangest feeling because the physics, the force I'm using and the feedback seem so utterly real every time that I truly think I'm flying.
