the journal subscribe now resources education ... home AIPR Fact sheet: Psychic and Mystical Experiences of the Aborigines Only since the 1950s have anthropologists understood that religion and the Dreamtime myths are at the core of Aboriginal society (4,12,13-15,18,34-36). Only recently have Aborigines written or recommended books that accurately portray their own culture (7,16-18,21,26). Many Aboriginals now prefer the traditional name Koori, as used in central New South Wales (21). Interaction for trade and ceremony has produced a common set of basic religious beliefs about the Dreamtime. Their basis is an essential unity and harmony between humans, the land and the Dreamtime (4). The arid climate made a close bond with the land essential. One's birth place is seen as the essential link with the inner self (the spirit world). Aborigines are thus very attached to their sacred sites, and they feel alienated when displaced from their homeland into cities. The Dreamtime The term Dreamtime was first used in 1896 by Spencer and Gillen as a rough translation of the Aranda term "alcheringa". Aborigines later adopted "Dreamtime" as their own word (5,p.9). Other tribes use words such as bugari, djugurba, tjukurpa, wongar and ungud. The Dreamtime is at least three things in one (16,17,35):

Oceania The Circle of the Dragon Dragons of Fame Oceania spans over Australian, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Polynesia, Melanesia, and Micronesia. These places have good and bad dragons alike. Here, dragons are very complex and inter-mixed with one another. The most complex, perhaps, is the Rainbow Serpent. Agunua Aranda Eingana Hatuibwari ... Footnotes Aranda Type/Species Sea Serpent Origin : Folklore of Native Australia (Emianga region) History : Aranda was said to inhabit rivers where the current was deep, thereby preventing the creature from disturbing the surface. When humans would come into these rivers alone, usually to fish, Aranda would grab them and swallow them whole for a snack. Symbolism : Aranda seems to be a bogey, or a creature used to scare people from doing something. In this case, this serpent is suppose to scare fishermen from fishing alone. Physical Description : Mostly, Aranda is described as an enormous serpent that dwells within the water. top of the page Hotu-puku Type/Species Taniwha Origin : New Zealand History : Many people going between Rotorua and Taupo began to disappear. Thinking that neighboring countries were the problem, a war band was set out. Instead of finding attackers, however, they encountered a dragon called Hotu-puku.

Contact Dragons of Oceania Introduction/ Overview Bunyip Polynesian Dragons Rainbow Serpent ... References Bunyip (Australian Dragons): The strangest of the Australasian dragons is undoubtedly the bunyip; this swamp-dwelling dragon is perhaps one of the oldest alongside its serpentine kin, the Rainbow Serpent. This does not easily fit with the Aboriginal description of the swamp-dragon, who described the creatures as huge snakes with large eyes and long ears, while at other times they were depicted as dingo like animals ( turudun ) or as birds, particularly the emu ( gourke and While bunyips are known for their aggression, a few appear to have a rather placid temperament. One bunyip sighted in New South Wales (state above Victoria) during 1868 was pardoned of any viciousness by the witness who said, "it is all nonsense about it being a savage sort of brute" (Barnard, 2001, p. 16). Despite this, not all bunyips appear friendly. The creatures are known for eating humans, and often meat out severe punishments for wrongdoings. Bunyips are endowed with many strange, esoteric powers; the boundaries of which remain unknown to humankind. These swamp-dwelling dragons use their well-developed power of metamorphosis to inflict damage on others, including the land, which they are known to flood in bouts of anger. This tells us a great deal about the bunyip’s attitude, and the inability they have of seeing that, in their own personal grief, they cause the undoing of others, including innocents.

CW Peck Home CW Peck Poems Dreaming Stories Bibliography Australian Aboriginal Dreaming Stories (Myths and Legends) A Chronological Bibliography of Published Works 1789-1993 Michael Organ, 10 July 2002 The following is a chronological listing of published works which have traditionally been labelled by Europeans and non-Aboriginal Australians using a variety of terms such as myths or mythology, legends, fairy tales, superstitions, fables, traditions, stories, dreamtime stories, narratives or even ghost stories. Preference is given to the use of the term dreaming stories in any references to such Aboriginal narratives. For a discussion of the various definitions and classifications of such material by Australian anthropologists and ethnologists refer Hiatt (1975). Interpretation by local and overseas researchers and academics has not been addressed in detail within this bibliography as such a topic covers a vast field, however some items have been included. The emphasis has remained on publications which contain collections of Aboriginal dreaming stories, though there are some exceptions to this rule, especially among the earlier references, e.g. Tench (1789) and Collins (1798), where mere portions or retellings of such stories are to be found. The following listing is by no means definitive, concentrating as it does on published collections or individual stories only, however an attempt has been made to include the major published reference works, along with a selection of journal articles. All the principal bibliographies of Aboriginal Australia have been consulted. In recent years a large collection of fiction, based upon Aboriginal dreaming stories, has appeared, e.g. Patricia Wrightson's
