MOTHER ALIEN

I think this blog's title needs some explaining. Don't worry, I'll still post dreams, especially alien dreams, but I think the underlying reason for many of my alien dreams is my mother.

Don't get me wrong, I love my mother dearly, but she is certifiable most days. There is a degenerative brain disease that runs on her side of the family. I have been screened, and cleared of it, but my mother has not. Despite all of us urging her to do so, and regularly.

She comes from a very large family. She has 5 brothers, and 8 sisters. She was #10. #2 and #3 have passed on. #4 and #8 are institutionalized because of said brain disease. but that's neither here nor there.

I'm not sure how got started on the idea that my mother is an alien. Actually I do. My wife loves my fathers side of the family, but can't spend more than 5 minuets with anyone on my mothers side. She has always referred to them as aliens from another planet. so that made me think:

• All of their names start with "A". So our first clue to the puzzle is "A".
• Her middle initial is "L". That's clue #2.
• Her mother's maiden name starts with an "I". Clue 3! You see the pattern forming?
• Her married name (my last name) starts with a "E". This is just getting creepy.
• I thought long and hard on this last one, and for the life of me I could not come up with "N". Then while talking to my wife about it, I found that the answer was there all along. My mothers birthday! November 14th! My wife further pointed out that "N" is the 14th letter of the alphabet, and after carefully counting on my fingers, "N" is indeed the 14th letter of the alphabet. To further make this creepy, she is 1 of 14 children!

So there you have it. My mother is an alien.
