One of my childhood dreams was to have superpowers. I think I wanted this because it would make me feel special and different from anyone else. For example, I used to imagine myself being invisible and sneaking around undetected. I wanted to be able to fly like a superhero and lift anything I wanted. I wished I had the power to teleport anywhere in the world instantly. Also, I dreamed of running super fast like the Flash. I fantasized about shooting energy blasts from my hands and being able to defeat any villain that came my way.
