Australian Aboriginal Mythology - The Dreaming (ASMR Stories for Sleep)

  • In this soft spoken talk, I tell you stories from a body of myths and legends shared by different Australian Aboriginal People: the Dreaming, or Dreamtime. Australian Aboriginals are thought to have some of the oldest continuous cultures in the world, since they remained undisturbed in Australia for tens of thousands of years. Their cultures radiated and diverged across the island, with different language groups and mythologies. We explore myths that are widespread among them, like the Rainbow Serpent, and others that are local, tied to local geography or a particular people.

      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 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.

      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
