      The article offers information on the Aboriginal Australian myth related to dreaming. According to the author, Dreaming has two chief senses. It notes that in the first sense, the Dreaming (or the Dreamtime) is an eternal "time-out-of-time" in the creation myth central to the religious beliefs of Aboriginal Australians.
