A "Dreaming" in Aboriginal culture is often an explanation or "story" of how something began or was created.

A Dreaming can also depict the relationship between a person, and the environment it inhabits. Often times, Aboriginal paintings will depict Bushtucker (food), water-holes, animals, tracks, etc showing the interdependence between a person and its surroundings.

There are many lessons to be learnt from Aboriginal culture and its understanding of mother earth.

"Indigenous Dreamings" evolved with a commitment to represent the real essence of the "Dreaming". It is with dedication we produce authentic Aboriginal designs to represent many themes of the Aboriginal Dreaming.

The designs of Aboriginal artist Lorni Hyland, like many Aboriginal artists, relate to nature. Her paintings generally depict the relationship between people and animals or the land, lessons from nature and traditional Dreaming's. (Taken from indigenous dreaming's site)
