Okay, here's the phrase:
(hum... where dreams take flight? where dreams can stand? No, let's stick with begin...)
Now, your task, should you choose to take it, is to let the brain stew (no, not wash, stew!) around that phrase. Whose dreams? What prompts them? Why do they begin there? For that matter, where is there? Conflict? Stakes? Characters? all the rest of the story telling bits and pieces (a MYTH? here in our very backyard? well, don't scare it away, offer it some cool water and shade, maybe it will stick around.)
Okay? Now pick out some fine spoonfuls of that stew, and let us feast!
In other words, very simply, write a (tale, poetry, whatever you likery) somewhere around the phrase:
You may use it as a title, theme, initial starting point, whatever makes your words dance.
Just write!
