For me it would be to see the outcome of each potential action before it happens. This would save me a lot of embarrassment and awkwardness.

Lucid dreaming at will.

At times when I was on a very restrictive diet I would sometimes dream about having a magnificent feast or a ton of junk food and it would feel incredibly real and convincing in the moment.

I wish I could do that all time.

Manipulate gravity.

Essentially telekinesis but better since I could fly or float.

Omnipotence is the obvious answer, but in the spirit of the question, I'll go with the more grounded answer of time control.

The ability to understand and fluently speak any language, or the ability to fly.

You’re an Atlas poster, I doubt this will ever become useful.

To achieve everything I could imagine, freezing time.

Being able to move when time is frozen is the ultimate superpower.

Shape-shifting. Time to see if this whole trans thing is all it's cracked up to be.

healing touch

I figure I'd set myself up with an NGO to bring sick people to me, I'd be too valuable to humanity to travel regularly.  Maybe 10 hours a day spent touching sick people.  A few hours of "me" time, sleep.  Then back at it.  Obviously the primary focus would be on younger people, but perhaps instead of donations, the organization can be financed by the occasional rich old guy.

Making things fly around the room to clean / organize it.

Sooo, a form of telekinesis I guess?

Teleportation  ("Oh, the places I'll go!")


Not needing to sleep, including never feeling tired.   ("Oh, the sh**t I'll get done!")

Having that famous button that makes people forget what you just said or did, like in Man in Black, would be funny.

However, I'd probably chose time travel.

I'll give an honest answer and not a meme one. Mind-reading. As an autistic person it drives me mad when I'm talking to someone and I have no idea what they're really thinking about me, what they want from me, if they care about me or not, if they're enjoying the conversation or desperately wish they were doing something else. Of course I'd want to have a way to screen out intrusive thoughts and general noise, but I'd really appreciate to have some way to read people's mindsets.

Control the probabilities of something happening.

Would literally cover everything else already listed. No cap.
