There are ten dreams in one night.
Each dream races for justice
And strives towards what has never been done before.
Three men stand before the deadly mountains
That wait to swallow them up in their treacherous shadow of death.
One man climbs them to conquer dreams
And to find his wife in the mist of his regret.
Another, on the other hand, climbs them to merely conquer their steepness,
But ends up climbing them to find the sacrifice that will save his life.
The final climbs them passing by venomous foes
And conquers them all just to find one friend.
Meanwhile, three women stand before an endless desert.
But not even the heat will drag them down.
One girl rides through it with strange allies at her side
To avenge murder and allow parental love to prevail.
Another dances through it in its many stages of reality and pretend,
And, through every hardship, pushes herself farther to find the difference.
The final pulls herself through it to end the winter
That for too long has chilled her bones.
In the meantime, two couples will once again face the altar
And trek through the muddy path to get there
In order to remember their vows.
One couple only wants to see a rainbow,
For its mere sight will let them now that everything will be all right.
Another uses their bond as a weapon
In order to tell the stutter that they won't go down without a kingly fight.
But what of the brothers
Who cling to each other through every storm
And won't let even the bloodiest wound force them out of the ring?
And what of the toys
Who forever want to be remembered and loved
And who will travel the world just to find the perfect child?
When all the dreamers awake,
They awake from the stain of anxiety and fear
That has stained itself on all their hearts.
They realize that out of ten,
Only one will walk away with their dream fulfilled.

I really, really like this. The different stories of struggle (within the movies) converge to tell the story of their shared struggle for a partcular recognition. Well done.
