The Dreaming

A common term within the animist creation narrative of indigenous Australians for a personal, or group, creation and for what may be understood as the “timeless time” of formative creation and perpetual creating. In addition, the term applies to places and localities on indigenous Australian traditional land where the uncreated creation spirits and totemic ancestors, or genii loci, reside.
