self-doubt

I often dream that I have some kind of superpowers and then I slowly lose them. Then, inside the dream, I'm being told to really focus, to fully focus on the brain, to be able to use them.

My hands had become enormous. I couldn't grip small objects. I tried to drink water from a cup but spilled it everywhere. I tried to type on my phone but pressed all the keys at once. Wearing gloves was impossible. I woke up with my normal hand sensation.

My shoes started tap dancing on their own. They put on a little show in the middle of the living room. They were pretty good. I clapped. The shoes took a bow. Then they quietly went back to their place. I tried them on to see if I could dance better too, but it didn't work. My feet woke me up tapping a rhythm.

My shadow apparently decided to take a vacation. It left a note saying, "Going to the beach, be right back." I spent the whole day without a shadow, it felt weird. People were giving me strange looks. I tried to make a shadow with my hand, but it didn't work. At the end of the day, my shadow came back, sunburned and wearing a straw hat. It said, "The beach was great!" I woke up looking suspiciously at my own shadow.

I was flying on a broomstick, like a wizard. Passing through the clouds, I saw the city below. I felt free. But the broomstick started coughing, like it was running out of fuel. I lost altitude. I fell into a haystack. I woke up feeling a bit silly.

I went on a dance competition show. The judges were total serious capybaras. I'm a terrible dancer. My partner was an awkward flamingo. We tried to do the tango but it was a complete disaster. Stumbling, falling, the flamingo's legs getting tangled. The capybaras just shook their heads. Eliminated in the first round. I was so embarrassed I woke up.
