Dreaming

The Dreaming (Gumbaynggirr: Yuludarla) is the source of the Cleverman's power, the collected stories of Aboriginal people.

The nature of the Dreaming is yet to be revealed. Jane O'Grady referred to it as "the Dreamtime", but as Waruu West pointed out, this erroneously suggests it exists only in the past. Its stories are not static.

Behind the scenes
Like the Cleverman and the hairypeople, the understanding of the Dreaming in Cleverman is inspired by the traditions and stories of multiple Aboriginal countries.
