Dreamtime in Australia is like the old'n days of the Aboriginals, it's about their story about how everything came about (eg. trees, rivers, grass.) The dreamtime is very important to Aboriginals. it is also about the origins of many things like the moon themselves and the animals.

The Dreamtime is the Aboriginal understanding of the world, of it's creation, and it's great stories. The Dreamtime is the beginning of knowledge, from which came the laws of existence. For survival these laws must be observed.

The Dreaming world was the old time of the Ancestor Beings. They emerged from the earth at the time of the creation. Time began in the world the moment these supernatural beings were "born out of their own Eternity".

The Earth was a flat surface, in darkness. A dead, silent world. Unknown forms of life were asleep, below the surface of the land. Then the supernatural Ancestor Beings broke through the crust of the earth form below , with tumultuous force.

The sun rose out of the ground. The land received light for the first time.

It's how they think the world was created and they believe that that was how they were created just like God or the Big bang.

The dreamtime is the Australian aboriginal creation story. It has the same meaning in traditional aboriginal belief as the Book of Genesis would to a Jew or Christian.
