The Aboriginal DreamtimeThe dream-time is the time when the rainbow serpent traveled across the land. The Dreaming is a term used by Aborigines to describe the relations and balance between the spiritual, natural and expressing elements of the world. The dreamtime is the stories of how everything -being plant, animal or human- links together.
In the beginning of time the ancestors that existed below the surface, woke and wandered across the earth, each place the stopped, camped or slept became sacred to the Aboriginal people. Once the ansestors died their bodies become land forms- such as mountains and hills, that is how Uluru and Kata Tjuta were formed. |
