Wonderful video! I'm sure you're unaware of this - but it would be excellent if you could add a warning at the start that the video includes images of deceased people. It's a standard practice in Australia, and was introduced by request from indigenous communities. The text is usually the following: WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are warned that the following program may contain images and voices of deceased persons.

I'm a non-Aboriginal Australian and think this is fantastic. The Australian Aboriginal cultures are rich and truly ancient.

This makes my heart so happy. A good chunk of my family live between Adelaide and Alice Springs, they foster and have adopted 3 aboriginal babies. Thank you for bringing this into the light. Thank you, thank you, thank you 💓💓💓I do believe this is my most favorite video of yours.

[@anacarolinamenezes8912]

I would love to share Brazilian mythology and folklore with you for a video. It’s really interesting and barely talked about. Really appreciate your videos, they’re very informational and respectful. It’s interesting to see that there’s also a parallel between the concept of “the dreaming” for the aboriginal peoples and what indigenous Brazilian peoples call “encantaria” (the enchanted, enchanted place). The beings and entities from this realm are the enchanted (encantados) or caruanas.

[@ThePatriotParadox]

south American and more specific Brazilian mythology, folklore etc would be very interesting, its so beautiful. Not mention the best women in the world, besides Spanish, and Columbian.... And such a rich culture and history.

[@panafricantalesbycassie]

Brazillian mythology would be really dope to learn about

[@koenvandergeest412]

i absolutely loved this topic. ive been listening to this video to fall asleep every day since it came out.

[@optimistic_panda8088]

I live in Australia and I adore their culture. I’ve learnt about dream time many times but every time it’s so cool. The best one I ever saw was an exhibition at sovereign hill park. It tells many stories such as the mines they have there the gold rush and ofc the story of dream time which all the shows are stunning

hi friend, i bought an hourglass the other day and fell down the rabbit hole of their history. not tons of info, but definitely something interesting that could be added to a larger video. history of other items such as clocks, watches, calendars, “History of Time-Keeping” ? i would love to know why and how some countries like Iran are on completely different years. just an idea for the future! 😊

[@scrambo6182]

This is a great video as always. I have to thank you for choosing this topic, and placing it on the same pedestal as all the other mythologies like it deserves. So often it is relegated to mere anthropology to be studied, rather than treated as the rich and meaningful culture it truly is.

[@mijiah]

i have severe c-ptsd and sometimes have a hard time sleeping after trauma therapy. for whatever reason, you voice and style of narration calms the racing thoughts and helps me to not feel so restless as i try to sleep. thank you so much for everything that you do, these videos have been an incredibly useful resource for me in my journey to recovery and healing. much love ❤❤❤

[@sampunnett2131]

Is the dreaming the same as the dreaming place in the Sandman Netflix series?

[@frogmeat5935]

What my family believes is. The dreaming existed before time and land, it is home to our spirits. Stories like the seven sisters happened in the Dreamtime. When an animal is born it is given a spirit from the Dreamtime, the animal passes and journeys back to the dreaming. Humans are a form given to the previous spirits to protect the land and creatures before it passes back to the dreaming. (This is where our totems come from) As humans to be allowed to pass back to the Dreamtime, we must care for the land, its creatures, give knowledge to others and enjoy our lives. We are forbidden to harm or eat our totems as it is equivalent to cannibalism. When we journey back to the dreaming, we become ancestors who live happy but sometimes they visit the next humans back on the land. The dreaming is our story of the afterlife and was used to soften the blow of death, makes it feel like a gift if you follow the rules of being a morale human. Human morales are told by other stories for example: The murrbay tree is about greed and the boab tree is about pride
