The DREAMING represents ancestral beings from the beginning of the creation time and continues through living generations. The spirits are passed on to their descendants. Hence! They are custodian of stories and totems, which provide much of the spiritual understanding of traditional title to land, ceremonial songs and dances. A vast body of aboriginal mythic narrative, these are still related to their daily life. Together these symbolisms constitute a complex code of interaction that continually remodels and reflects aboriginal social networks and territorial groupings of its practitioners, reproducing the culture in a sense “following up” the dreaming. In the myths, ancestors travelled, from site to site broken by incidents hunting, gathering, fighting enemies & ceremonies. Dreamings (animals plants water holes rock formations, particular land sites or people) they are eternally present. The ancestral beings carved forms out of a formless world and moulded the shapes of the creeks, water holes, rock formation, the desert and sand hills. Most Australian indigenous artists still maintain a strong link with their land, traditional values and ceremony, many living in remote communities.
