おれはドリーマー!
ドリームすんのか!?

よっしゃ!!
まかせとき!!
チーパッパーーーーー!!!

えっ、あっ……
そうなんですか…。

…
…あなたもしかして開発者サマ?
記録とかすんの!?

おっし!
1ボタンで記録終了だかんな!
がんばっていいデータ作れよ!期待しててやるよ!!
チーパラパーーーーー!!!

あ、そうなんですか…

I'm a dreamer!
Are you dreaming!?

Alright!!
Leave it to me!!
Chīpappa-----!!!

Uh, ah...
Is that the case?

…
...Are you perhaps a developer?
Are you recording or somethin'!?

Alrighty!
Because by pressing button 1, the record ends!
Do your best to make good data! I'm expecting the best from you!!
Chīparapa----!!!

Ah, is that the case?

The file DreamerDebug.msbt contains what seem to be instructions for a tool developers used to create play-through recordings for the Cosmic Guide feature. It indicates that pressing the 1 Button would end the recording, and has what are likely confirmation prompts for starting and exiting the tool. The text is playfully written and seems to be for a bird character, as the onomatopoeia "chiipappa" is likely a reference to the Japanese nursery rhyme Suzume no gakkou (雀の学校), meaning "sparrow's school".

Another debug-related text file. Interestingly, it reveals that the Grand World Map was named 'World G' at one point.

Stages

In many cases the placeholder text "TokyoPatrolError" is used, possibly to prevent a game crash. These reveal however which NPC's used this text.

Many of these texts also contain a lot of internal jokes of the developers for testing, such as that Lubba likes beans and the favorite food of a luma is ham.
