Yes! Those used to freak me out too! The N64 Zelda games always seem to have some form of nightmare fuel.

Yep... And then the 3DS remake made them completely accurate to their official art, rather than brown boxy polygons... darnit Nintendo...

When I was very young, I kept having this recurring dream that the way a family determines who their father would be was to go to this big sort of shopping mall where there were a lot of men hidden behind red curtains throughout the room. In front of each man's red curtain, there were these kind of big posters with traits listed on them describing what the man's personality was like, their hobbies, what they liked to cook, etc. By looking at the poster, the family could decide what man they wanted to be included in their family as the father figure. There was this button on each curtain that when you pressed, the curtain would fall down, and it'd reveal what the man you chose to be the father looked like. So, I always thought that was where my father came from, a large shopping mall

Okay this is kind of a weird one ... So you know how your ankle bone sticks out on either side of your foot and whatnot? Well, when I was really little (like 3 or 4 years old) I believed there were pickles trapped inside my ankles. ... I really don't know why I thought that.

I don't know if this counts but for some reason I always thought that all cars were the same size. Like they had to be because it was required by law or something. So if I saw a VW Beetle near a Cadillac, I thought it was just an optical illusion that the Cadillac looked bigger but they actually were the same size. Bear in mind that I thought this as a VERY young child. LOL!

I kind of had a variation of that. When I was about 7 or so, I'd stand in the back yard and when the wind would blow, I'd guide it with my hands and make these really dramatic gestures like Bugs Bunny conducting an orchestra. I really thought I played a part in the whole thing.
Then I had this weird belief that I was the center of the world and everyone was watching me all the time. I was 37 when I had that one.

When I was a kid, I thought I looked beautiful like Ariel from the Little Mermaid. This was when my grandma was still alive. I remember that she made a hat from yarn for my Ariel doll when I visited her in Mexico. She was always so nice to me. She taught me to love myself. Sadly, she passed away from cancer at the start of the millennium. Once I enrolled in Kindergarten, people started to change my positive self-image of myself. I became more negative and insecure because people said I was ugly and fat. The more people said it, the more I started to believe it. And this was how my anxiety started and I began to shut myself from the world.

I used to think that when the time came to get married, you went to this big event where you're in a big room with tons of other people and you just walked around until you found someone who wanted to get married to you.

I believed I was an orphan from Planet X.
I believed if someone took a photo of me it would steal my soul.
I used to think I was apart of some sort of cosmic Trueman show and that the universe was playing one big joke on me. Maybe this is indeed true?
I once saw a TV show called Homocide about a rape case. Except I though they said raked, the baddie had scraped a rake down the back on the poor girl. .

Oh my gosh, I love that.
That reminds me ... when I was a little kid I thought that when you got married the woman just magically became pregnant.
And on the topic of pregnancy, I thought that when a woman gave birth, the baby came out her belly button.

I believed that I was adopted child, that other people can read my mind, and that flies and other insects are Devil's spies.
LOL. I had a little different superstition - that women are getting pregnant while dancing with men.

I believed Gasoline was made from pee. God knows why I felt that. But I stopped believing that once I got to age 10

When I was a kid I thought the world was divided into 2 groups
Adults and children .I decided that I was of the child group and that I would remain that way forever. Even though all evidence did not support that theory.
The only benefit I saw ,in being an adult ,was that I could do whatever my conscience and reality permitted . I could stay up late ,drink and smoke and wear clothes I choose
not someone elses handmedowns.
I can remember @ 31 driving from work to pick up my son @ latchkey thinking
Omg im big now, and responsible and I dont feel comfortable with this nor do I like it.
I felt so unfree and longed for the summerbreak that would never come again. Like ever.
Retrospectively I see It wasnt such a bad theory.
Being an adult is not a natural chronogical age progression alone.
Just because your bodys matured doesnt mean your mind has.
I ve observed many adults defy logic, reason and behave more like children throughout my life than my own son has.
Maybe we should stop raising children and start raising adults.
I think my SA symptoms were always present and I tried my best to live with it.
I became increasingly ill because I found the behavior of other so called adults so disparaging that I just decided to check out of society I got tired of fighting them and didnt wish to join them so now Im on ssd. Because the way the world works is exhausting to me.
