Step-by-step
Guide content
Create the scene
Start from a clean project with Dreamcatcher enabled.
Create and save a new test scene.
Open the Dreamcatcher interface.
Add starter content
Add or generate one small piece of starter content.
Keep the test small so validation and playtesting stay clear.
Add one interaction

The goal is to understand trigger → result, not the whole logic system.
Validate and playtest
Run validation before playtesting.
Review warnings, then run the project in Godot.
Save the scene when the test works.
