There is nothing like that in TFA. Rey’s force powers were all backloaded toward the end of the film. She doesn’t really struggle much or earn her successes. She fails at the Jedi mind trick once, but it’s more of a gag for the audience, because she immediately succeeds on her next try two seconds later. She summons the lightsaber past Kylo without any effort in the final duel, which is fine because I think it worked best cinematically that way, but there should have been earlier scene(s) to establish it.

I think this is indicative that her past includes Jedi training. She may have been at Luke’s academy, and was hidden on Jakku so Kylo couldn’t get her.
