:: Æ is not just an alias ::
From wiki:
George William Russell used a pseudonym AE, or more properly, Æ. This derived from an earlier Æ'on signifying the lifelong quest of man, subsequently shortened.
The word aeon, also spelled eon or æon, means "age", "forever" or "for eternity"
&
Æ (minuscule: æ) is a grapheme formed from the letters a and e.
As a letter of the Old English alphabet, it was called æsc ‘ash tree' after the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc rune
ᚫ which it transliterated; its traditional name in English is still ash (IPA: /æʃ/).
So basically, Æ Dream in layman's term just means...
A Chimera's Lifelong Quest For The Ash Tree
Chimera's definition is a Dream; an illusion
In mythology, is a monstrous creature which was made of the parts of multiple animals.
or genetically speaking,
The chimera is formed from the merger of two fraternal twins in a very early (zygote or blastocyst) phase. Chimera may have a liver composed of cells with one set of chromosomes and have a kidney composed of cells with a second set of chromosomes. Most will go through life without realizing they are chimeras. The difference in phenotypes may be minute, or completely undetectable (eg: having a hitchhiker's thumb and a straight thumb, eyes of slightly different colors, differential hair growth on opposite sides of the body, etc).
I'm the few who knows I'm a chimera whose currently in an aging forest searching for a particular tree called the ash tree.
It's leaves are mostly pinnately-compound.
The seeds, popularly known as keys, are a type of fruit known as a samara.
The seed can be in the centre of the wing, as in the elms (genus Ulmus) and the hoptree (Ptelea trifoliata).
The seed can be on one side, with the wing extending to the other side, making the seed spiral as it falls, as in the maples (genus Acer) and ashes (genus Fraxinus).
A samara is sometimes called a key and is often referred to as a helicopter or whirligig or a polynose.
So you see, everything is linked...
me having identity crisis cos of my genes
me being in a wing and not a company
me being so into dreams cos I am one
me feeling lost cos this is no place for a chimera
me relating to the elements so much
me having different thumbs
me having wierd hair growth on my legs when both my parent don't have
me having different position of ears
me having extra nipples
me looking for the key to my heart
me feeling out of place cos I'm one of the minority
me realising my difference and finding out why
my strong interest for the unknown and impossible
my easily rejected unorthodox ideas in this conventional world
my ability to see from many perspective
I simply just don't belong here...
ok... that was crap...
Æ Dream just means Forever Dreaming.
