Here's some examples of some of my failures
-I try to walk on water, looking where I'm going, and sink into the water. I get out, know that everything requires your attention to exist in dreams, so I look up until I can't see the water at my feet. Then I walk and it works. I look down and see a very thin crust of colored ice beneath my feet.
-I want to part some trees like you would tall grass with your hands, but I want to do it telekinetically using my hands. I visualize it happening, fully expect it to, reach out, try.. and instead I get spotlights shooting out of the palms of my hands, like Iron Man's force blasts only spotlights. I figure waving my hands about activated whatever archetype represents "hand powers", and out of everything I consider a hand power, that was the strongest link or connection since I had just watched an animated Iron Man movie.
-I'm flying using swimming physics, a common default flying mode because the only archetypal structure representing movement we have actual experience with while stretched out horizontally is swimming. I fly out over a river and suddenly lose my ability to fly and crash into the water. I figure my swimming physics and the water are so closely related they just kind of snapped together like magnets.
Unexpected stuff happens no matter how good you are.
