	The POD - Cetacean Mythology... Swim with dolphins and whales in the wild!
		Several themes commonly appear in ancient mythology from Greece to the tiny islands of the Pacific, though there is one element present in all: since time immemorial humans and cetacea have shared a very close, and quite unique bond.
		The notion of dolphins and whales transforming into humans is one of the most enduring themes in cetacean mythology, and commonly appears in stories accounting for the birth or creation of certain tribes.
		To this day, Norway and Japan, despite rich cultural mythologies which revere the whale, both continue to mercilessly slaughter great whales each year to neatly package the meat in sterile plastic trays to be displayed in garish supermarket refrigerators.

		The mythology is encoded in stories which are handed down and if the stories are detached from the land and people, then the story is being changed to reflect other concerns.
		Mythology is also a way of passing geographical knowledge from generation to generation, thus where the thumping kangaroo first thumped there is limestone; the goanna is associated with sandy outcrops, the kingfisher with coal; the pigeon with gold; and the crested pigeon with grinding stones.
		Mythology also embodies warnings for those who break the rules, gives courage in times of adversity and is a focus of community identity.

	Dreamtime (theory) - Lostpedia
		According to indigenous Australians, Dreamtime* is the all-at-once time because they experience it as the past, present, and future co-existing.
		Both before and after life, it is believed that this spirit-child exists in the timeless place known as dreamtime and only is initiated by being born through a mother*.
		This confirms that the survivors are dead, and that’s why they remember their past, and learn from mistakes, etc., and the Others (that arrived before) are spiritual guides to this underworld and they take only those who are prepared to take the journey back to life.

		But most characteristic, however, of dreamtime mythologies throughout the world as a whole, is the strange and somewhat inscrutable mystery relating to the instability of boundaries which existed between men and the rest of the natural world, the animal world in particular.
		In all three of these anecdotes the device of shape-shifting sequences was used as a bridge between the distant mythological cycle of the pre-historic dreamtime and the proto-historic heroic cycles of the Irish and Welsh traditions, which lay closer to the horizons of living historical memory.
		Other interesting similarities also emerge: in all three stories the transmigrant shape-shifter is actually devoured; twice as grains of corn, and once as a tiny fly; before being reborn to their devourer in a later age.
