Dream Journey (Indigenous)

The concept of Dreamtime is deeply rooted in Aboriginal spiritual beliefs and existence, often misunderstood by non-Indigenous people. This world, dating back to the very beginning, is where spirits created the land, people, plants, animals, rivers, streams, and waterholes. The term "Dreaming" is referred to by various names in different Aboriginal languages, such as Manguny in Martu Wangka and Wongar in some North-East Arnhem Landers.

This must-read book invites you to step into the magical world of Aboriginal Dreamtime and explore the world's oldest living culture, its ancient knowledge, and spiritual wisdom. Inside, you'll find Dreamtime concepts that everyone can understand, from the significance of the Rainbow Snake to the role of sacred sites and personal Dreamings.

Aboriginal culture and religion are deeply rooted in the Dreamtime, which is believed to be a never-ending beginning. While it may be challenging for non-Indigenous people to fully comprehend, it is an integral part of who Indigenous Australians are and the reason for their existence.

Through the guidance of Aboriginal Elder Aunty Munya, you'll learn what it means to truly belong and be family to everyone and everything. You'll discover your purpose in life and how to walk in the footsteps of your Ancestors, coping with and mastering life through the teachings of Dreaming.

Reading Indigenous books by Indigenous authors is a valuable experience for all Australians, as it allows us to understand the shaping of the world in which we live. By bringing Indigenous history back into schools, we can ignite the flames of creativity and understanding in our children, who will be responsible for keeping Dreamtime alive in the minds of non-Indigenous Australians.

It's important to acknowledge that our First Peoples have the longest continuous cultural history on Earth, with educated estimates suggesting their history dates back around 100,000 years. This journey into Dreamtime is an opportunity to explore and appreciate the richness of this ancient and profound tradition.
