What is Dreamtime. The meaning of Dreamtime pronunciation Dreamtime definition Dreamtime How to say Dreamtime

Dreamtime (also dream time , dream-time ) is a term devised by
early anthropologists to refer to a religio-cultural worldview attributed to
Australian Aboriginal beliefs. It was originally used by Francis Gillen,
quickly adopted by his colleague Baldwin Spencer and thereafter popularised by
A. P. Elkin, who, however, later revised his views. The Dreaming is used to
represent Aboriginal concepts of "time out of time," or "everywhen," during
which the land was inhabited by ancestral figures, often of heroic proportions
or with supernatural abilities. These figures were often distinct from "gods"
as they did not control the material world and were not worshipped, but only
revered. The concept of the dreamtime has subsequently become widely adopted
beyond its original Australian context and is now part of global popular
culture.

The term is based on a rendition of the indigenous (Arandic) word alcheringa
, used by the Aranda (Arunta, Arrernte) people of Central Australia, although
it has been argued that it is based on a misunderstanding or mistranslation.
William Stanner remarked: "why the blackfellow thinks of 'dreaming' as the
nearest equivalent in English is a puzzle". Some scholars suggest that the
word's meaning is closer to "eternal, uncreated."

By the 1990s, "Dreamtime" and "the Dreaming" had acquired their own currency
in popular culture, based on idealised or fictionalised conceptions of
Australian mythology. Since the 1970s, "Dreaming" and "Dream time" have also
returned from academic usage via popular culture and tourism and are now
ubiquitous in the English vocabulary of indigenous Australians in a kind of
"self-fulfilling academic prophecy".Thanks for Watching please like and subscribe!
