dream powers

[prismaticbleed]

"Do you have an unique ability in your dreams that you know that is impossible for you to do in real life?"


Oh dear. Dream abilities? Let's have a look-see... *thumbs through Dream Journal*
Well, it's almost a given that I can fly. I tend to do so quite a lot in my dreams. I tend to fly NiGHTS-style, but when I was younger I used my arms more like wings. Sometimes this power merges with another ability of mine-- shapeshifting-- and I fly that way. Usually I turn into a Celebi (the Pokemon), but I have become a bat once before and have actually "merged" with some of the Jewel Monsters--creatures I know from my dreams-- to do so. This "merging" doesn't only occur with them, however. Several times I have been able to put my mind in someone else's and see through their eyes. I tend to do this unconsciously, but it's an amazing ability.
My shapeshifting doesn't always involve flying... I have become a Virtual On Fei-Yen once, and twice I randomly turned into Haruko from FLCL. Don't ask me why, though.
Besides shapeshifting, I also have self-transformation powers, but they are very hard to activate. I have several emotion-induced forms in my dreams that I can become through this. That and I have actually gone through some "magical girl" transformations...
I can also teleport and summon random items, but they both have a 50% chance of working. Either I'm too convinced my dream is reality or they just won't cooperate, but it becomes quite frustrating at times. This is usually more the case with summoning, though. I tend to effortlessly teleport around a lot, albeit without really willing to do so. I have discovered that too much willpower kills my abilities sometimes-- it's better to just believe and let them come by themselves.
I apparently also have "magical" attack abilities, as I see some other dreamers here also possess. Mine vary immensely, though... either I borrow some Jewel Monster techniques, use attacks from the waking world (the kind of abilities you see on TV) or simply "energize" my emotions into an attack force. Once I was even able to shoot fire from my fingertips!
This is the ability that fails on me the most, though. However, when it does work it has some serious strength. Sometimes I can only get the attacks to work halfway.
I can also influence my dream surroundings to a very small extent. I feel this is because the worlds I enter are just as self-maintained as our own Earth is. I have no right to be "editing" them!
I also have experienced some "one-time" dream powers... such as invisibility and sonic voice. Plus I tend to walk through walls often...sometimes even ceilings and floors.
And despite the many, many times Selph has buddied up with me in my dreams, I have never seen him use any special abilities. Oh well. Who knows what the future holds?
*closes Dream Journal* I guess that's it for me, then. I apologize if that was a little long, but when I get into a subject so dear to my heart, I tend to talk a lot.
Thank you for your time! I enjoyed reading up on your fantastic abilities too! <3
