Dreamtime
Dreamtime, also known as the Dreaming, is a foundational concept in Aboriginal Australian culture that describes the ancestral time when the world was formed and spiritual beings created the land, animals, and people. It encompasses stories, songs, and rituals that connect Indigenous Australians to their heritage, beliefs, and the natural world. Dreamtime is not just a past event; it influences today’s social customs, laws, and art. It emphasizes the relationship between tribes, their ancestors, and the environment, reflecting a holistic view of existence where everything is interconnected.
