dreamtime

/dɹˈimtaɪm/ name

The time of the creation of the world, by the ancestors out of their own essence.

Word Origin Dreamtime combines dream and time, but dream originally meant 'joy, music' in Old English — not a sleeping vision. The shift to 'vision during sleep' happened later, possibly from the idea of a joyful illusion. Time is from a root meaning 'to divide.' So dreamtime is a time of visions, but its roots are in joy.
