Collaboration

This was a long one, and it is broken into two parts: Pre-cavern and post-cavern. I'll get to it.
Pre-Cavern
I do not have a solid opening or closing for this part as it was basically a massive amount of dream fragments, but I know their nature and beauty. The dreams were about myself, the american, collaborating with the humble Japanese on the design of a brand new aircraft, back in the beginning days of flight. The dreams had this beautiful quality to them of collaboration, where I would get tired of working, and then a small burst of inspiration from the Japanese would drive me to forge on and build, and in doing so I would grow and become loved.
Then I woke up, after a final dream where I built the plane, and even after waking up I lay in bed to thank the Japanese engineers and say goodbye to them in my post-sleep daydream. They responded. It was nice.
The Cavern
I returned to sleep, and found myself in a very different situation. I am in a dark cavern. The walls are only a few meters apart, and about 10 feet up is a silver cable made of pure light that runs from one end of the cavern to the other, about 50 feet. At each end of the cavern, a small blue portal the size of a rabbit sits silently, and in the center of the cable are two mounts attached to it, objects with foot long strings of light dangling off them, with cherry sized baubles at the end. I touched the baubles and they get excited, moving the mounts across the cable as if in perfect frictionless suspension. I grab both baubles and swing them ahead of me, which causes the mounts to glide ahead. They move faster than my walking speed so I just watch. They get to the end, hit the little portal, and come out the one at the other side. This excites them a bit and they speed up. The one in front slows down a bit, and when the one behind it hits theres a 'crack!' and the front one shoots forward to the portal, comes out behind and shoots the other one. In a matter of seconds, both of the bauble strings are travelling across the cable at the speed of sound, blurring together and passing through the portals many times a second. I realize now this is a powerful source of magic, so I resign to study it carefully using the patience the Japanese have taught me.
Post Cavern
I wake up suddenly. I'm in a dark bedroom so I go to the window and open it. I'm at a mansion in the woods, similar to the T-House but much larger. There is snow everywhere, and my dad is in the courtyard. Suddenly my brother comes in.
"You're awake." I am confused. Of course I'm awake. He tells me I've been sleeping for three days. I tell him about the cavern but he is confused. Suddenly my family is gone. I hear people talking so I go down near the courtyard. Three powrful beings are having a conversation in a room I'm next to, talking about how they've all come back from collecting powerful sources of magic and await my return. They speak of the cavern, they know I was there. They are going to use the power of all these magic places to kill everyone. I hide under the stairs, fuck those folks there is no way I'm joining them. I concentrate my hardest and manage to turn into a small animal, though I can't remember which. A cat comes by, which I know is another one of the magicians in disguise, and I act as a regular pet and cuddle with the cat. It is weird to know I am cuddling up with a dark wizard but I have him fooled. Then, someone says they will go kill my family and I perk up, losing my cover. They laugh, it was a trick to get me to come out of wherever I was hiding, they could sense I was near.
I talk to them for a while about the cavern, and eventually we are all in a room. The wizards are two men following a woman, who is pure evil. The men just like power. At one point they transform into Sasuke and Rick, and at that moment I turn on them. I open a portal from the place of the baubles and they come flying out of it at light speed, since they've been gaining speed this whole time. It vaporizes the men, so open a back portal and slide the bauble mounts back onto the light beam and push them, closing the portals and allowing them to go gain speed in that nameless place for another time.
At then end of the dream Anna showed up. I wanted to do something, say something, but the words would not come out. Those actions are reserved for reality.
