The Australian Aborigines are Animistic. They live in the vast, empty, hot desert Down Under. The Dreamtime is the sacred era when ancestral totemic spirit beings created the world. The Aborigines are full of their mysterious stories. The Dreaming may refer to a tribe's set of spiritual beliefs or to the Creation Time itself. There are the Kangaroo Dreaming, the Shark Dreaming, and so on. The Amerindians of the Americas are similarly full of Animistic beliefs.
