Of course, perhaps the feeling itself is worth it; I'm not questioning that. I just fail to understand all those "No, I could really do anything." assertions.

Just being able to fly does not instantly mean you are able to control your dream. Control extends beyond your body. Think playing god with some limits. If you control your dreams, you could create mountains at will, make water flow uphill, and make heads explode and let penguins dance the tango.

THAT is what I call control.
