Outer Wilds ending spoilers, dream 

Last night I had an Outer Wilds themed dream. It gets into major spoilers~.

It was one of those "not sure if dream reality or a game even in the dream" dreams. I'm not sure if I was me (whatever I am) or the game's protagonist species either.
Regardless, I discovered that of the various locations the Giant's Deep probe was sent, one got sent into a black hole that went off to a new planet.

This planet was marshy, full of giant bouncy mushrooms and swampy areas. It was also inhabited... by mushroom-y feral dinosaur creatures, implied to be the descendants of the Nomai after millions of years. While they seemed intelligent, I'm not sure I could communicate with them. I petted some of their heads and explored around their village, which seemed like the Poncle Village from Okami with how it was haphazardly constructed from wood, sticks, and... mushrooms.

It seems that besides seeking out the Eye of the Universe, the Nomai also found this planet and tried to colonise it. Not sure how they evolved into dinosaurs though.

... also there was still, you know, The End to be concerned about. The last star exploded, the planet went pitch dark, and then I froze solid on the spot with the lack of heat left in the universe.

My last thoughts were a bit more game-y as I was just kinda "ah, okay".

What a way to end that dream.
