As a kid I used to dream that I could levitate by sort of straining my muscles upward and lifting myself away from the ground. It would be pretty cool to do that IRL.

Funny, I had a similar series of dreams as a kid like that. I just sort of learned to ‘walk upwards’ and levitate.

Years before the books were written! I am an old :(

But still, I’m sure it’s like riding a bicycle and I have these water balloons…

Mine was that if I curled up into a ball I would float like a helium balloon lol.

I used to contemplate jumping in the air, then quickly using my foot to spring upward off of my other leg/foot, and repeating that until I've reached a desired elevation.
