DREAMING IS A LIABILITY & I NO LONGER HAVE TO DREAM WHEN I HAVE A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP - BEING AWAKE IS MY ONE AND ONLY BEST STATE & DREAMING CAN KISS MY FAT ARSE SOON ; ) In the animist framework of Australian Aboriginal mythology, Dreamtime is a sacred era in which ancestral totemic spirit beings created the world. Dreaming is also used to refer to an individuals or groups set of beliefs or spirituality. For instance, an indigenous Australian might say that he or she has Kangaroo Dreaming, or Shark Dreaming, or Honey Ant Dreaming, or any combination of Dreamings pertinent to their country. Many Indigenous Australians also refer to the Creation time as The Dreaming. The Dreamtime laid down the patterns of life for the Aboriginal people. Dreaming stories vary throughout Australia, with variations on the same theme. For example, the story of how the sun was made is different in New South Wales and in Western Australia. Stories cover many themes and topics, as there are stories about creation of sacred places, land, people, animals and plants, law and custom. It is a complex network of knowledge, faith, and practices that derive from stories of creation. It pervades and informs all spiritual and physical aspects of an indigenous Australians life.
