The concept of Dreamtime (or Dreaming) is a central aspect of Aboriginal Australian spirituality and culture. It refers to the time of creation when the world was shaped. It’s not just a myth or story but a continuous, timeless existence that influences every aspect of life.

 

Each individual is also thought to have a personal Dreaming, which reflects their place in the world, their role in society, and their connection to both their ancestors and the environment. 

 

Dreamtime represents a worldview where the past and present coexist, the physical world is deeply connected to the spiritual, and the land, ancestors, and people are all integral parts of a vast, interconnected story.
