Dreamtime is an often-used term for describing Aboriginal spiritual beliefs and existence. It is not generally well understood by non-Indigenous people and therefore, they often miss out on the wonderful learnings and legends that have an impact in understanding the past, present and future.

The world of Dreamtime was way back in the very beginning where spirits created the land and the people. They made the plants and animals, the rivers, streams and waterholes.

"Dreaming" is called Manguny in Martu Wangka, a Western Desert language spoken in the Pilbara region of Western Australia; and some North-East Arnhem Landers refer to the same core concept as Wongar - to name but a few.

In this must-read book, the world of Aboriginal Australia is shared through story, and takes you back to a time when our land was alive with the magic of Dreamtime.

Aboriginal culture and religion get their foundation from Dreamtime, which dates back tens of thousands of years. Many believe that it isn't just the past, but a never-ending beginning.

The Dreamtime may be difficult for non-Indigenous people to understand in full, yet it is part of who Indigenous Australians are, and the very reason they exist.

Whilst some Aboriginal authors have shared their stories before, you will never be the same after reading this book and experiencing your own Journey Through Dreamtime.

This book invites you to step into the magical world of Aboriginal Dreamtime and to share in the world's oldest living culture - its ancient knowledge and spiritual wisdom. Inside are Dreamtime concepts that everyone can understand.

Find out why the Rainbow Snake is called by that name and why it is deeply revered. What special role does it play in traditional healing? What are sacred sites and how do they empower you? What does it mean to have kangaroo or possum Dreaming? How can you discover your Dreaming and what it can teach you? How does Dreaming help you cope with and master life? What are Dreaming Eyes and Dreaming Ears? What are Sorry Rocks?

Come on a journey with Aboriginal Elder, Aunty Munya as she guides you in discovering your purpose in life and how to walk in the footsteps of our Ancestors. Learn what it means to truly belong and be family to everyone and everything.

Reading Indigenous books by Indigenous Authors is something that all Australians will not only enjoy, but take a huge benefit from, by understanding something that has shaped the world in which we live. If we look to the past, it will help us protect our future

Bringing Indigenous History back into schools will light the flames of creativity and understanding in our children, who as a generation will be the ones to keep Dreamtime alive in the minds of non-Indigenous Australians.

Our First Peoples have the longest continuous cultural history of any group of people on Earth, with educated estimates that their history is around 100,000 years old.

So, let's take a journey together - a Journey into Dreamtime
