Dream from first sleep:

Before the CSBwi part,
- something about was trying to play/record audio casettes.
- Biking a big square for purposes of...

I was poking around a world my dad had made in CSBwin. He had been spending a lot of time in here, and had made a section of one floor of the dungeon into his home base. The center of the room was filled with stoves (a brown and gray half-height block). There was a public restroom to one side of that room (which I used a couple of times, probably inspired by having a full bladder in real life). And near the stairs there was a red tent that he slept in. (These red tents seemed to fill one cell, and seemed a little bit bigger on the inside.)

I was oblivious to most of the rest of the dungeon, and so in my mind those areas were just a lot of black, empty space, but I was aware of a few things here and there.

A couple floors down and off to one side there was a two-cell 'crusher' (probably inspired by Factorio's asteroid crusher) that could be plowed through the rest of the dungeon to eat the walls and whatever else it came across. I suppose this was used to effect some interesting game mechanics in Conflux or Dad's puzzles or maybe even the original Chaos Strikes Back, but I was just thinking of using DSAs to drive it through the entire dungeon turning it into empty cells, which wouldn't be that interesting, in the end.

I had heard something about this dungeon corresponding to the state of Wisconsin, and wondered how that could be. I asked Dad if it was limited to 32x32 tiles and he chuckled and said "no!" Apparently he had modified the engine itself (as opposed to doing tricks with events and teleporters to make the world seem larger than it is) to allow for arbitrarily large worlds, so long as they were mostly empty or could be procedurally filled-in (which is more of a me thing).

This was all very interesting but I had no idea where to start w.r.t. figuring out what this world was even about. Maybe it was just Dad's test world, which would explain why it was mostly empty.

I was off exploring in a different direction from the crushers. This engine allowed for very 3D structures. There were multi-story spaces, and it even allowed the player to arbitrarily rotate, so that you could e.g. end up on your side.

I spent a night in another one of those red tents up on a catwalk in a sunlit space two or three cells tall. I was thinking about how, as neat as this was, it was difficult to make small/'cozy' spaces because the granularity of the cells was about 8 cubic meters, as opposed to something like Minecraft where you could make little 1x2 meter hallways.

Renee was visiting me back in the home base area. We walked downstairs towards the front lobby, which had some big glass windows high up on the walls (the layout reminded me of the front entrance of the Morgridge building). Renee was staying in another red tent right next to the front door, and my family was staying in a larger room nearby. I gave Renee an affectionate rub on the hips before she continued on to her tent and I went to see my family.

Heather asked "is that your (something something) material?" I didn't quite make out the first part of the question so asked her to say it again. I still wasn't quite sure, but guessed what she was getting at, so answered "something like that."

More dreams during second sleep:

There was a video showing the character from Subnautica swimming and later running with the background morphing behind them to show various different environments from the game. This was supposed to be an advertisement for Subnautica 3, I think.

I was in a place with...some buildings. One or two of them had a big open shower room. I always used the women's shower for...some reason that made sense to me at the time. As if I was working on some project that I could only progress on if I showered in there. Sometimes someone would try to tell me "don't go in there that's the women's shower!" and I would explain "oh it's okay; I have some reason that I always go in here."
