The Dreamtime
The Dreamtime is a dimension beyond time and space where the past, present, and future all coexist at the same time. The Dreamtime exists parallel to and contiguous with the Earth-Prime dimension, and can act as a gateway to other dimensions “farther” away. Australian Aboriginals believe that the Dreamtime and Earth-Prime separated when the first Europeans arrived.
The Dreamtime is home to many varied spirits, some worshipped by Aboriginals, others feared as monsters or the distributers of justice. Many spirits take the form of human/animal chimeras, while others are giant versions of living or extinct creatures. In many cases, natural Australian landmarks are the physical embodiment of Dreamtime beings. There is some argument that the Dreamtime may actually be an exaggerated view of The Lost World. Other theories suggest that the Dreamtime and the Lost World are very closely-connected dimensions, allowing individuals to easily cross between them.
The Dreamtime can be accessed through dreams, altered states of consciousness, special rituals, specific sacred sites, or death, and is considered the place where an individual’s spirit rests before reincarnation.
