The Snake Dreaming is the most Sacred Dreaming. It is the Story of the two Creators, who in the Dreamtime made the mountains, rivers, wind, air and everything. However they too were subjected to the same law that our people were. The Creators broke their own law and were punished. When Yarrapirri tried to take revenge against my people but realised he could no, he cried. The soft rain is Yarrapiri crying.
