In much contemporary fantasy, happy thoughts serve to power various magical gifts. In Peter Pan they enable flight, in Mary Poppins, when Mary takes the children (Jane and Michael) to Uncle Albert for tea, happy thoughts levitate and keep the tea-party on the ceiling and in White Wolf's role-playing game Changeling: The Dreaming they can potentially either create chimerical creatures or be used as a source of glamour.
