The time machine is a technological product representing the heights of spacetime/consciousness/science, an impossible item representing the pinnacle of understanding occult reality..
The wild anima is instinct driving me toward a goal, sexual interest, nature, someone to impress and act in ways she would be attracted to...

The dark magician represents a teacher/adversary I want to learn from but ultimately not be subordinate to, so there’s respect there but leading to conflict... a barrier to be overcome as wisdom overcomes ignorance and able to prove through confrontation, also a future self...
Divination lab would be a place of community where people can experiment and learn, working together in a laboratory of sorts to experiment and develop knowledge of the occult and divinatory arts together beyond which anyone can do on their own; something of a church of magic but without hierarchy, an egalitarian sacred community for anyone to work with others to perfect their craft.
I compete with dark magician to win the love of anima, and organize divination lab to build a time machine... still having trouble with meaning but it seems to be getting clearer as the series continues...
That's quite clear, given how rich and varied all those dream elements are. I really love the idea of the laboratory as a place of community and an environment to develop knowledge i ways that are are balanced, without hierarchy, etc.
Are all of these elements present within the series? What has changed most? What has stayed most consistent?
I find your note on the dark magician interesting as it was a similar energy when I encountered one in my dream/hypnogogic state. There was an immediate sense of collision and being pinned against one another, a kind of struggle, and yet respect. It was like we couldn't both exist in the same psychic space due to how we matched up. And yet, that tension also drew something powerful out of us both.
