Dreaming is the past, present and future. Discussion. Aboriginal people believe that each person lives for eternity within the Dream, which exists before and after the individual's life until this child is born to a mother. The spirit of the baby is expected to enter the fetus during pregnancy and if the baby kicked, this was believed to be the work of earth spirits, so the expecting mother would remain standing.
