I do that too, in dreams, sort of glide without actually walking. I am always at a mid age - not young or old - and my parents are there in many dreams also at about the same age as I am in the dreams. When my children are in my dreams they are usually very young. Sometimes I wonder if dreams are real happenings - just some other time and place. That wondering is quickly dismissed.
Dreaming is timeless
Aboriginal spirituality does not consider the ‘Dreamtime’ as a time past, in fact not as a time at all. Time refers to past, present and future but the ‘Dreamtime’ is none of these. The ‘Dreamtime’ “is there with them, it is not a long way away.
The Dreamtime is the environment that the Aboriginal lived in, and it still exists today, all around us” [2]. It is important to note that the Dreaming always also comprises the
significance of place [3].
Hence, if we try to use an English word, we should avoid the term ‘Dreamtime’ and
use the word ‘Dreaming’ instead. It expresses better the timeless concept of moving from ‘dream’ to reality which in itself is an act of creation and the basis of many Aboriginal creation myths. None of the hundreds of Aboriginal languages contain a word for time [4].
We are the oldest and the strongest people, we're here all of the time, we're constant through the Dreaming which is happening now, there's no such thing as the Dreamtime.—Karl Telfer, senior culture-bearer for Kaurna people, Adelaide [5]
Note that the Dreaming is not the product of human dreams. The use of the English word ‘dreaming’ is more of a matter of analogy than translation [3].
