This is probably going to sound well kooky, but I'm curious enough to post it anyway.
For the last few years I've intermittently had the feeling of having wings, sort of like angel wings sprouting from the back of my shoulder blades. Sometimes it's quite a subtle feeling, other times it;s so strong as to be almost tangible, like I could move them if I wanted to, or I lean forward and almost feel them move to balance my centre of gravity. Ok, so I know that I physically don't have wings and I'm not about to jump off of any tall buildings to test them out, though there's times where I feel like I could just take off and hurtle over the city at some incredible velocity.
About 18 months back I told the engineers in my office about this, and I think they thought I was a bit crackers(!)
Has anyone heard of this before?
All of the dysmorphic symptoms that I seem to recall reading about seem to be fairly subtle, usually distortions of proportion, or people who look great but think that they look incredibly ugly.
