Thirst quenching powers
You may have them, too
In last night’s dream, I met a friend I hadn’t seen in a long time. We entered a small coffee shop and sat down to catch up. I was feeling very thirsty and thought I would need at least four small glass bottles of water to quench my thirst.
I ordered one, and as we started talking, the level of sparkling water quickly dropped, and soon the bottle was empty. I lifted it slightly from the table, and turned it around as if to read the label. As I placed it back on the table, something amazing happened. Water appeared on its bottom and started rising to fill the bottle again. Delighted, I poured myself more and drank. When the bottle was empty again, I proceeded to repeat the exact same motion as before, lifting the bottle slightly and turning it an inch before placing it on the table again, and sure enough, sparkling water started to fill it up again. This happened 4 to 5 times, until my thirst was quenched.
As we moved to the counter to pay, the woman asked me for €8.70, around 3 to 4 times the regular price of a bottle of water. “What?” I exclaimed. “But you only served me one bottle!”
Evidently, she had noticed my superpowers. Her facial expression said “That’s the way it is”, as she proceeded to cash in another client, leaving me some time to decide what to do. When she turned her attention back to me, I said : “Ok, I’ll pay the €8.70. But know this : this money will not profit your business. On the contrary.” A fearful look came over her face as she considered a possible curse on her business. Changing her mind, she decided I didn’t have to pay. I left her a few coins to pay for my consumption, and left. Still in my dream, I caught myself thinking this would make a good story.
Beyond the triumphant feeling of having superpowers, I read something of value in this dream : knowing what you need and how to give it to yourself. And how to keep others from taking advantage of you.
Now those are truly superpowers.
