My Fantastic Dream

I used to have a recurring dream for years that I had the ability to fly, but lack control and power. No one believed I could fly, but I could only hover with all my effort. This dream I had changed that pattern:

New York City. Lower West Side. A boy is playing baseball in an alley. The buildings are several stories high with fire escapes, but they have a very suburban look. The boys' building is light blue and made of wood. The kids lose the ball over the roof and yell at the boy to go get it. He climbs the building with superhuman ease, almost like he's floating. When he reaches the top, he sees the ball on the ground on the other side. He flies down, picks it up, then flies right back up to the roof. No one else sees this. That night, the boy is looking out his bedroom window at the river, far to the right and back. The city lights are colorful. A woman appears on the fire escape. She looks somewhat like Julia Roberts, only for her inhumanly large eyes (at least according to the boy's perception). He knows from what he sees she's a precog. He sarcastically remarks, "So, can you see the future with those eyes?" His sister enters the room, surprised to see a stranger outside the window. "You can see her?!", the boy says. "Of course she can," says the woman, "she's your sister." The woman explains the boy is needed for an emergency at another world. The woman and the boy fly off, over the city. The river is full of giant talking alligators and Loch Ness monsters; the world is full of fantastic creatures that mortal beings know everything about but cannot perceive to be real. The pair fly into the cosmos, past planets and stars, to a planet not unlike our own, but much more advanced and complex and colorful (like Star Wars episode 2 and Fifth Element). The boy meets a group of his peers, mostly women. They explain that the boy has a unique ability, even among their own: to turn back time. He must use his ability to get a device away from a child in this world. The boy suspects they are not telling him the whole story. They further explain this child somehow got his hands on this device, which he will use for a frivolous reason, which will catalyze a chain of events that will lead to a worldwide disaster. The boy still believes he is being deceived somehow. They eventually admit they accidentally allowed this native child to get his hands on the device, which the boy does not believe. In his frustration, he grabs a woman by the face and says, "Show me..." He penetrates her mind, experiencing her memories. It is the same place, with the same group of people, only sometime in the past. They are arguing, plotting to steal the boy's power. The boy is speechless and frozen; not in fear, but in fury. He instantly flees. As he flies through the cosmos, the planets and stars melt and spin before his eyes, before he reaches home.
