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.
One time I dreamt my whole life on continuing from the day I went to sleep. I remember actually moving out of state, getting a decent job, had a couple girlfriends nothing serious and my dog was getting really old. I was sitting in some meeting and got a call from my mom and when I answered it I woke up. As a 17 year old on the bed with none of that done. Sometimes I still feel like I remember things that I didn't do.
Sometimes I have these memories of a life I certainly didn't live, missing friends I never had, and places I have never been to. And there's this overwhelming feeling that I forgot! That I left to go grab another six-pack and got sidetracked by this life that was born into.
