A creation myth (or cosmogonic myth) is a symbolic narrative of how the world began and how people first came to inhabit it.[2][3] While in popular usage the term myth often refers to false or fanciful stories, formally, it does not imply falsehood. Cultures generally regard their creation myths as true.[4][5] In the society in which it is told, a creation myth is usually regarded as conveying profound truths, metaphorically, symbolically and sometimes in a historical or literal sense.[6][7] They are commonly, although not always, considered cosmogonical myths – that is, they describe the ordering of the cosmos from a state of chaos or amorphousness.[8]
Creation myths often share a number of features. They often are considered sacred accounts and can be found in nearly all known religious traditions.[9] They are all stories with a plot and characters who are either deities, human-like figures, or animals, who often speak and transform easily.[10] They are often set in a dim and nonspecific past that historian of religion Mircea Eliade termed in illo tempore ("at that time").[9][11] Creation myths address questions deeply meaningful to the society that shares them, revealing their central worldview and the framework for the self-identity of the culture and individual in a universal context.[12]
Creation myths develop in oral traditions and therefore typically have multiple versions;[3] found throughout human culture, they are the most common form of myth.<span>[6]</span>
The condition which occurs during early to mid childhood and includes nightmares, sleep terror and sleepwalking is parasomnia.
A parasomnia is a type of sleep disorder that causes unnatural and unpleasant physical occurrences or experiences that keep you awake at night. A parasomnia can happen before, during, or right after waking up from sleep. If you have parasomnia, you might act strangely, move abnormally, speak abnormally, or express your emotions in odd ways.
Any stage of sleep, including the change from awake to sleep and vice versa, can experience the behaviour. If you have parasomnia, you might move, speak, or do odd things while you sleep, have nightmares, or have sleep terrors.
