Dreamtime, or The Dreaming, represents the rich spiritual and mythological framework of Indigenous Australians, describing creation and existence as an ongoing process rather than a historical event. This expansive consciousness transcends mere dreams and speaks to life’s purpose and wisdom, linking individuals to their ancestry and culture. Oral traditions carry these stories, which vary among diverse Aboriginal groups tied to specific lands, languages, and customs. Knowledge is governed by age, gender, and clan, highlighting the deeply ingrained social structures and responsibilities within these communities.
Dreamtime represents the Indigenous Australian worldview, encompassing mythology, spirituality, and the interconnectedness of all existence, challenging the dichotomy between past and present.
Oral traditions of Dreamtime have persisted for millennia, conveying beliefs and purpose through storytelling, dance, and artistic expression unique to each Indigenous group.
