Indigenous Australian peoples conceive of all things beginning with The Dreaming or Altjeringa (also called the Dreamtime, a sacred 'once upon a time' time out of time in which ancestral Totemic Spirit Beings formed The Creation.   Fred Alan Wolf opens chapter nine of The Dreaming Universe (1994) entitled The Dreamtime with a quote from The Last Wave, a film by Peter Weir:   "Aboriginals believe in two forms of time; two parallel streams of activity. One is the daily objective activity, the other is an infinite spiritual cycle called the "dreamtime", more real than reality itself. Whatever happens in the dreamtime establishes the values, symbols, and laws of Aboriginal society. It was believed that some people of unusual spiritual powers had contact with the dreamtime."       Don’t miss out on this fantastic poster!
