Is It Just Me?

Is it just me?
I did not like "Signs." Even after I thought I figured it out. But I haven't found anyone else who's "figured it out." Tell me -- did I figure it out correctly? I think the whole premise of "Signs" is in the first thing the little girl says to her dad.

**SPOILER**
This explains her brother's incredibly adult lines (particularly when he's stuffing the VCR) and just about everything that I did not like about the movie -- children behaving like adults, adults behaving like children, even the water (the little girl's water saves the day).
The conceit does not make it a cheat. In fact, it makes it work -- if I am correct. But I can't find a review that hints at what I think. Tell me:
Isn't it all a little girl's dream? Starting after the death of her mom? I swear I heard her say to her dad, "What are you doing in my dream?" My wife didn't catch that, neither did my coworker -- nor anyone else I can find. But after my wife thought about it for a day, she went even further: She thought she heard the mother's voice among the voices in the other room at the end.
This answers all the objections I've read about the plot. It was all a dream.
