The never ending toy box cave

So, I had gone back to NY to visit my dad and went in my room to take more board games and childhood toys home. I grabbed an action figure that looked like him but younger from the shelf and a few board games from under some sort of low toy covered shelf I don’t recall being there in real life. I hung out with them in their room for a bit and joked around with them and my cousins, and then went back to the toy box. After a point of looking, it was like I was in another world. Well, actually I sort of was. It was a vast green landscape with the entrance to the cave being quite short of a walk from me, and behind me, a castle that somehow lead back to my room when I exited the cave and ran back down the dirt path. I entered the cave and found a few cool souvenirs, and kept re entering and searching, then retreating with new things, until there came a point with water. Some children i knew in the dream caught wind of me collecting these toys and games and other antiques, and started to come to the land parts to search for objects they found interesting. I had to hold my breath for this, but I was able to until on one run I encountered someone who gave me an elixir for breathing under water. I believe it was permanent, but I told the children to stay behind and not go any deeper. Luckily they listened. I pressed on further into the depths of the cave and found a set of two bedrooms with several beds in it, they had metal bed frames with headboards and foot boards. If almost felt dungeon-like. Most of the people were resting or reading a magazine, but one picked a fight with me. Apparently we had clashed in the past. I knew deep down it wouldn’t be a permanent solution but I shot a fireball at him and he quickly turned to ash, then ran into the other room. I knew he’d be returning though, so I flew up to the dirt ceiling and through it, rapidly burrowing upward like an earth drill, minus the spinning. Once I reach land, a pang of worry hits about the children waiting for me in the cave. But i had to truly defeat my enemy first. He re-materialized, and after some battling I quickly defeated him. I went to retrieve the children and brought the spoils of my quest back home to my family. I’m not sure if this next part is after or before that part of the dream, but they’re from the same night. So, I was in a classroom with a teacher I hated and the classmates were also not people with was fond of. Anyhow, some guy came in the class and I told him not to come near me. He decided to be stubborn so I took a good look at him and started vomitting repeatedly. After my classmates helped me get cleaned up, I grabbed my belongings and left.
