Way more than 5 tesseracts in the cave. Each of those rifts has one or more mobs in front of it that you have to kill before using the dream catcher to close it. So you can chose whether you rather go for aoe-ing groups or for single target fights.
The mobs are a weird mixture of things you'd usually find in Outland (various types of demons, ravagers, mana wyrms, ethereals, etc.)
One of the mobs drops a ring that teleports you back to Haleh. The ring is called "Haleh Back", which amused me way more than it should have.

Description
Mazthoril's innate magic can wreak unimaginable havoc if mishandled. Umbranse's wanton casting within the cavern has opened up a number of tesseracts - in other words, portals - connecting to other worlds. If I am to return to Mazthoril, these tesseracts must be closed. The dreamcatcher will close the portals, buying you safe entrance into Umbranse's lair. First defeat whatever comes out of the tesseracts, then use the dreamcatcher to quickly close them, before anything else spills into this world.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Winterwater
I don't want our gambit to fail, <name>. Such a failure would only draw attention to our efforts, giving Umbranse an opportunity to hone his defenses. No, we have to do this right the first time. The Frostwhisper Gorge, to the south, provides us access to powerful ice elementals.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Umbranse's Deliverance
Umbranse lurks in the back of Mazthoril. His time has come. Unfortunately, I am unable to join you on this quest. While I'd love to get my hands on that snake, Mazthoril's magic would rip me apart in its current state. No, I need you to finish this for me. When the deed is done, use this charm.
