Dreaming of the Earth

In the soft womb of the psyche lay the seeds of all creation. We enter that fertile darkness each night as we dream. Before anything enters into being, it must first enter imagination, and dreaming is the pure font of imagination. In the Australian Aboriginal creation story, everything in the universe comes into existence after first emerging in the dreamtime. If humans are to bring forth a new relationship to the Earth, its seeds will be in dreaming. Our dreams express the leading edge of creation.
