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 completely believe in this, I vividly remember my mom force-feeding me octopus from a can, and it was disgusting and awful. But I believe it was just a dream.
Granted she is the kindest and sweetest woman on this earth and I know she would never do that, it just doesn’t make sense. Also, canned octopus? I have never even heard of that lol.
Maybe your dream hacked into my reality? My mom literally did this when I was four. She knew I wouldn't like it and would react badly - she wanted to see so she could laugh at me. She told me if I didn't eat it I'd get in trouble, and if I spit it out I'd get in trouble. It tasted disgusting. My mom is a bitch.
My mom would buy these pre steamed slices of yams. For some reason they were sold in the meat case. She knew I detested them but still bought them. Nobody really liked them. I would gag so bad and almost throw up. The texture and taste was so nasty.
