List of superhuman features and abilities in fiction


I believe almost all children dream of possessing superhuman powers such as becoming invisible. Well thanks to a wikipedia website, I had lots of fun dreaming up superpowers I'd like to have. Here's my list:
  • Accelerated healing - heal rapidly from any injury, can sometimes result in the slowing of aging
  • Animation - bring inanimate objects to life (this would fit in nicely with my magazine)
  • Body part substitution - replace one's limbs or other body parts with those of another.
  • Duplication, physical - create physical duplicates of oneself
  • Flight - lift off the ground, ride air currents or fly self-propelled through the air
  • Invisibility- render the user unseen to the naked eye
  • Merging - temporarily merge two beings into a single being (hmm, I believe it's called birth)
  • Superhuman breath - inhale/exhale...create gale force winds or freezing temperatures
  • Superhuman senses - see, smell, taste, feel and/or hear more than a normal human
  • Telescopic or microscopic vision - magnify vision to various levels
  • Time travel - travel back or forth through time
You will find examples of characters who have these powers, links, and reference notes.

Product enhances lucid dreaming

I just found a product that enhances dream recall: Brilliant Dreams. Supposedly, it enhances dream recall and vividness, and encourages lucid dreaming. It does not change the content of the dream; just the recall. Visit their site.

FYI--Other products related to dreaming
  • VIDEO: Click here to see an introduction video about dreaming by Dr. Marjorie Miles, DCH, MFT. I love her dreamy voice. She also gives good tips to remember your dreams.
  • BOOKS: If you're in a snuggling mood, I'd like to recommend Falling Awake by Jayne Ann Krentz. It has a unique plot involving a dream interpreter.
Have you tried, or read, the product(s) mentioned above? How do you feel about dreams? Have you experienced lucid dreams? How do you interpret your dreams? Please leave a comment!

In the spotlight...a coffin

It's important to have an opinion. Our point of view enables people to 'walk a mile in another's shoes'. That's why Perspectives Magazine gives inanimate objects a chance to express their points of view.

Even though it's not a pretty subject,coffin see the world through the eyes of a coffin this week. Visit "Perspectives: In the Spotlight."
