If you're doing this in BFA, at the time i'm writing this you wont be able to use your dreamway teleport like it asks you to at the end of the scenario. However, if you run out of the area near the shrine, it'll remove you from the scenario and put you back into regular hyjal with your quest ready for turn-in, and you can use your teleport then.

Quest Hand-in is located INSIDE the dreamgrove; not the portal area. There's a small path behind the north western moonwell to take you there if you cannot fly. Do not bother going inside the barrows den it's not in there.

Description

The situation is dire. The Legion is attacking the Shrine of Aviana in Hyjal, AGAIN! They must be after something specific, but I'm not sure what. Us Druids of the Talon are skilled scouts and infiltrators, but are lacking in... durability. They won't be able to hold out for long! We must go to help!
