'The dreaming is still there and deeply influences the Aboriginal world view and life view—epistemology and ontology. Dreaming is the law, spiritual identity and custodial ethic toward the land. Dreaming is one of the most important keynote themes in aboriginal creative writing. This paper is meant to handle the theme of dreaming as religious identity in Mudrooroo's most important representative work, Wild Cat Falling (1992), from the perspective of identity construction such as kinship and walkabout and identity resistance.'
