I've been thinking about starting this thread since a while because I had some strange ones myself and I'm curious to know at which level they are recurrent among kids. So here's the main examples that come to my mind:
I had this phase when I thought maybe my house was in fact somebody's aquarium, and I was their pet, and they could see everything I do. So for months I was hiding myself in the closet or under the blankets when I was changing clothes.
I also had this weird phase when I thought every night, my bed would go one level down in "another dimension" or something, and when I would wake up, everything was the same though it was not, it wasn't the same house, and it wasn't my original family anymore. And I thought that at midnight there was a lever that would appear on the wall next to my bed and if I would manage to stay awake until midnight to turn it up, I could stop going down one level everynight. But I never could :sad: So every morning for months I would wake up completely confused thinking I was surrounded by impostors and that I would never see my real family ever again. ???
it was like... between 5 and 8 years old. So I wonder if anyone else had weird beliefs like this and if you would want to share it ?
