Text adventures for dreams sound interesting. I don’t know how to code much, but text adventures wouldn’t require flooding the adventure zlevel with maps. An idea for text adventures would be that each action you do ingame would alter your dream. You start with a base dream and different things will change the dream, or we could have the same dream for everyone. A third option would to have one dream and one nightmare. They would both be long text adventures. To prevent them from being boring when you already know how to complete them, they could be randomized, i.e the puzzles. For example, a dream could have 3 puzzles and they would be randomly selected from 9 puzzles.
You find yourself in a old diner.
>N
You walk north
>EXAMINE
There is a counter with a cold looking robot. Behind the counter there is a kitchen.
>TALK TO ROBOT
“Greetings human. Would you like to puchase some grub?”
>KILL SELF
You slash your thoat with the nearest item available
And then you wake up. This is a shitty example, compared to Zork or another game like Colossal Adventure, but we could create something silly.
