Dream 1.17.19

I just had this really intense dream My three friends from California and I were on some other planet. I was thinking about how in the old days people would need to be in space suits and check on the environmental conditions but not any more. Now it was like Star Trek. We were trying to help this girl possibly named Katie who was trying to use mental/magic power to do something (overthrow some regime?) but it wasn't strong enough so we were traveling around digging up and building these nodes that I realized were some kind of reflector that would carry the magic further across the globe from wherever its source was. We had to sneak onto someone's property to build one, and for the next one we knew of some lady who was a sympathizer to the girl's cause so she let us work at her house. We drove there with an overhead RPG style view through a sort of desert area to the dark green oasis where her house was. She had some old artifact called a Donaldson or something that was like a dark gray phone booth with a circular tube/disk on top but I think it was a particle accelerator or teleport system of some kind and she claimed it worked perfectly, but we didn't want to risk using it because the enemy would know where we were. The last device we were building was a little circuit board that went in a PlayStation 1 and you had to trick it into running some custom code but had to find an ISO that was the same size in order to do that. While the other three guys were doing that I went to the back of the house and turned on an AM radio with a weird exposed vacuum tube for the power button that I found because I was pretty sure there were listening devices planted there and I didn't want us to be found out, so it was playing some classic alien planet pop song of yesteryear while we tried to get it done. There were other radios with dead batteries and speakers in various states of repair on the back side of this house as well. Some guy I didn't know started asking me how long I had known Katie. It was around 6 or 7 years.
