Success Quote by Uri Geller

"I think I usually have quite ordinary dreams. Sometimes my dreams take me to other dimensions. I can travel in my mind especially when I'm dreaming I focus my mind on what I want to dream. If I want to fly, I focus on flying"

About this Quote

Geller is selling the softest kind of superpower: not spoon-bending, just self-directed wonder. The opening move, "quite ordinary dreams", is a disarming disclaimer, a way of sounding relatable before he pivots to "other dimensions". It’s classic entertainer rhetoric: start with the mundane, then slip in the extraordinary as if it’s an everyday upgrade anyone could access with the right mindset.

The key phrase is "I focus my mind". That’s not a mystical doctrine so much as a performance ethic. Geller’s career has always lived in the friction between belief and technique, between paranormal promise and showman control. Here, the "dimensions" language flirts with cosmic mystery, but the mechanics he describes are almost self-help: intention, concentration, visualization. The subtext is that the mind is a stage, and he knows how to work the lights.

There’s also a cultural timestamp embedded in the idea of choosing your dream like a TV channel. Mid-to-late 20th century pop mysticism loved the notion that consciousness could be tuned, hacked, expanded. Geller taps that appetite while keeping it safely private: dreams can’t be fact-checked. By grounding the claim in sleep, he moves the paranormal out of the lab and into experience, where skepticism has less traction and emotion has more authority.

"If I want to fly" lands as both escapism and branding. Flying is the oldest fantasy of freedom, and Geller frames it not as luck but as agency. He’s not asking you to believe in magic; he’s inviting you to practice it.
