I've never experienced a miracle, but I'm surrounded by people who claim to have seen one or know somebody who did. I'm still waiting for mine.
I met with a supposedly realized Buddhist master in a monastery in Nepal and asked him if he had ever had a supernatural experience (Buddhist cosmology has many stories about enlightened people flying, walking through walls, etc). At first he had difficulty understanding the question (the translator seemed to have difficulty finding the right words). Finally he replied with a blunt “No.” But then amended that with the inconclusive statement, “If a supernatural event occurred, by it existing, it would immediately cease to be supernatural because there would be some explanation for it.”
You should have replied, “yes, there may be an explanation, but the explanation could be beyond all human understanding”. That would be “super” (the explanation siting in the superset , where our understanding is just another set in the superset).

I feel like dreams are the most supernatural thing I've experienced.
Yes. Several. It could also be said that I am supernatural.
i dreamt of the heaven once.
