Earliest memory is of an Owl when I was 3 years old…Ufo abduction or just a reaccuring dream?

I am 40 years old now, but my earliest memory that has never left me behind anytime other than it was REAL is of an owl and me riding on its back to the back of my parents property and then me walking back, in my pajamas and climbing back in the window. I remember it happened multiple times, not just one night. Only recently, as in this past month have I heard there’s a connection to Owls and UFOs. I have always been fascinated by the idea of aliens and UFOs and have always believed in them, but never thought of my memory as an abduction. I’d like to go through hypnosis someday to see if there’s anything to it. Has anyone else experienced anything similar from when they were very young?
