Aboriginal Dreamtime

Dreamtime, or Dreaming, is a fundamental aspect of Aboriginal Australian spirituality, encompassing stories, beliefs, and laws describing how the world and life originated. It represents the sacred period when ancestral beings shaped land, animals, and humans, establishing the cultural and moral framework for communities. These stories are passed down through generations via oral traditions, art, and ceremonies, serving as a living connection to the ancestors and the land. Dreamtime is not just about the past; it informs present-day life, identity, and environmental stewardship, embodying a spiritual understanding of harmony between people, nature, and the cosmos.
