Ha.
Please, go right on ahead and listen to a file that promises real-life wings, sprouting from your back. We'll wait to hear about your successes[/quote]
We can't even make a jetpack that will keep a human in the air; the few I have seen on undoctored film will induce spectacular third-degree burns on the pilot's ass and legs. Regardless of the special effects Hollywood used in The Rocketeer, the X-Men films that included Angel, and other films, we can't fly on our own. Yet. Even though the Jetsons had jetpacks and flying cars, we don't.
The problem with specifying wings as an example of what the mind can do is that it isn't "just" the ability of the mind to prod the body into making wings. Bird's wings and bones are lighter (and more brittle) so the birds' wings can lift the bird. For that to happen for a human, you'd need a superb bio-engineering laboratory, a few (hundred) genius-level geneticists, and a a government program with the equivalent in today's dollars of the Manhattan Project budget ... and probably several "breakthroughs" in genetics.
I sincerely doubt that even my genius-level subconscious would want to take on the project of designing a human body for self-powered flight. Lighter, more brittle bones, better-performing muscles, and a more efficient digestive tract are just a few of the problems to be solved. And you want someone's subconscious to do this ... alone? We can't even do this with technology; why should our subconscious be able to do it? Pick something reasonable as a test case.
How about asking the subconscious to make someone look as if they are a member of another "race" (whatever that word means). Let's say the test case is making a Caucasian look more Oriental. It can be done with makeup and/or plastic surgery, so the mind should find it easier. Identify which features or characteristics make a person look as if they had oriental ancestry. Epicanthic folds? It's a matter of telling some muscles around the eyes to tighten/loosen in a different pattern. A lower lip that protrudes more? Simple; most kids have done that when pouting; add some cell growth to the base of the lip. Less prominent cheeks? Tighten the cheek muscles while losing a few thousand cells beneath the skin. The skin color might take few months but that could probably be solved in a gradual release of melanin over a month or two. The skin wouldn't have to darken that much, only a few shades.
