The Dreaming: Culture, Etymology and translation disputes & Aboriginal groups with notable Dreamtime interpretative variation

The Dreaming, also referred to as Dreamtime, is a term devised by early anthropologists to refer to a religio-cultural worldview attributed to Australian Aboriginal mythology. It was originally used by Francis Gillen, quickly adopted by his colleague Walter Baldwin Spencer, and thereafter popularized by A. P. Elkin, who later revised his views.
