there are indigenous people in the Philippines who have folks called that, but apart from that I didn't really find anything or how dreaming relates to pushing your production from strip mines even higher.

Australia's indigenous spiritual belief is rooted in the Dreamtime. A time so long ago it is only remembered in people's dreams.

But if that's what the game means, then it would be seen as an enormous insult by Australia's indigenous communities. The Dreamtime is about the creation of the World, and stewardship over the land in harmony with flora and fauna.

Hello,

Just wanted to share with you that this is not something we wanted. Using the word Dream (as reference as dreaming or dreamtime that was used by the Australia’s Indigenous communities), and mines was a mistake. We are looking different options to address this.

I assumed it was related to the dream as in Australia changing from a prison colony to a proper country.

Not to mention the incredible irony of appropriating this indigenous belief in a game that is obviously so Western-centric.

I think a reference to Utilitarianism would be a good basis for an alternative name.
