68 The Dreaming/Dreamings

The Dreaming is the continuing relationship
which exist between traditional Aborigines of Australia and the
beginnings and life in the Here and Now. It is a continuing experience.
Dean Edwards (deane@netcom.com)

W.F.H. Stanner writes that the Dreaming "is represented as a
continuing highway between ancestral superman and living man, between
the life-givers and life, the countries, totems and totem-places they
gave to living men, between subliminal reality and immediate reality,
and between the There-and-Then of the beginnings of all things, and
relevances of the Here-and-Now of their continuations.
