In this ten-sectioned exquisite corpse, you play as Dave, and you've just bought a new house. Your furniture isn't here yet, so it's a good time to explore the nearby woods. But before you get that far, Leslie's disembodied voice tells you you're stuck in a simulation.
This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 1 of the game.
SPOILERS AHEAD. Reading a walkthrough prematurely can sometimes diminish one's enjoyment of an interactive fiction game. Please make an honest effort to play the game before reading this walkthrough.
A voice, calling you Dave, says they're trying to get you out of there. It will soon be clear that Leslie thinks you're trapped in a simulation.

You now have a fractured arm, but there's no time to worry about it.
> x grapes. search grapes. x poop.
Leslie tells you you're in a new section. Soon, a wombat shows up, snarls at you, and attacks you.
The combat is randomized. Use UNDO to undo turns where you take damage. You need to hit the wombat at least four times without missing. You may use DIAGNOSE ME to assess your health.

Assuming that the wombat always misses you from now on because you're using UNDO like a seasoned player:

When the wombat dies, it fades away. Then the face of a Cosmic Overlord congratulates you and tells you you'll fight the Atlanteans. You are also healed. You are then teleported to...

Extras
Characters
Dave is the player-character, who is either a new homeowner or someone stuck in a simulation.
Leslie is either someone trying to rescue you from the simulation, or is a malevolent entity trying to confuse you with hallucinations. This evil version is also known as Lucy, Lucille, Lisellyi, Leslea, and L'Z'L.
A Great Master (which is a huge majestic insectoid) blocks all access to the woods except for those who prove their loyalty.
A lesser mastid (which is a beautiful dog-sized insectoid) is in your driveway, fascinated by the reflection of your car mirror.
Some tadpoles can be seen swimming in the stream.
McWiggy is studying the huge missile in the woods. He looks like an insurance salesman from the 50s.
A wombat improbably starts attacking you in a lunar vinyard. How deceptively adorable!
A penguin named Rex is trapped inside a cage in the food locker room.
The troll you find in her cell is a female Atlantean troll. She may be slow and stupid, but under her green skin, she's all muscle. Don't let her catch you!
Cameoes:
The face of a Cosmic Overlord speaks to you after you defeat its wombat. It heals you and teleports you to outside the Atlantean base.
A female assistant of your father's is briefly seen in a hallucination brought on by examining the contraption in the science lab.
A little pink-coated rat can be resurrected from the salmon-pink smoke.
A Koskos is a squat monster lurking in your father's foyer.
You father can be resurrected from the dark-orange smoke.
Found dead:
Some dead flies are in the garage.
Mentioned:
Your mother performed forbidden time travel experiments in the taboo room.
Aunt Bertha was the horrible woman you were forced to live with after your parents were both abducted by the Atlanteans. Leslie thinks "Aunt Bertha" is just a fiction implanted into your mind.
You have several grandfathers. A portrait of Grandfather XVIII is in your father's bedroom.
Credits
This is the response to ABOUT:
"House of Dream of Moon" is the third IF Whispers game, written consecutively by ten people who only got to see the part before theirs. It follows in the glorious footsteps of "The Corn Identity" and "An Escape to Remember", but shares nothing but the format and a few authors with those games. Tom Blawgus was the moderator of this Whispers incarnation, and wrote the first section. To see who wrote any given section, type "author" while playing that section.
The possible responses to AUTHOR are:
Scene 1, "Going Exploring", was written by Tom Blawgus.
Scene 2, "Introducing the Great Masters", was written by Carl Muckenhoupt.
Scene 3, "End of the World", was written by Ricardo Dague.
Scene 4, "The Great Lunar Conspiracy", was written by Sam Kabo Ashwell.
Scene 5, "Night of the Wombat", was written by Jacqueline A. Lott.
Scene 6, "Entering the Unknown", was written by Mark J. Musante.
Scene 7, "Imposing Some Structure", was written by Lucian Smith.
Scene 8, "Mechanisms and More", was written by Admiral Jota.
Scene 9, "The cute and the Deadly", was written by Taleslinger.
Scene 10, "Puff of Smoke", was written by N. B. Horvath.
Endings
You have died
if you're incinerated when the missile launches.
if you suffocate in airless space.
if the troll kills you.
if the Koskos kills you.
You have had your ass handed to you by a tiny wombat.
if you resurrect your father from dark-orange smoke; see plain glass bottle.
Inventory
You can carry five items at a time, not counting worn items. Excess items usually get moved automatically into your backpack if you have it.
Bottles
a water bottle, which contains water. It's in the kitchen's refrigerator.
The water bottle is something you must have before you'll go into the woods.
At the stream, drink the bottle (to empty it), then fill the bottle (from the stream). Examine the bottle; it should now contain water and a tadpole.
Pour the bottle into the helmet to move the tadpole into the helmet.
a delicious wine. In the lunar crater, dig twice (with the shovel) to find a crate. Open the crate; wine bottles are inside.
Drink two of the wine bottles to get sufficiently drunk. Now you're willing to jump from the scenic overlook down to the lunar vinyard.
a plain glass bottle. It's in the lab annex.
If you open the empty bottle in a room with colored smoke, the bottle inhales the smoke.
If you put a smoke-filled bottle into the receptacle in the annex, then push the button, four turns later, the creature that was turned into smoke is restored back to life. The plain bottle can be taken back to resurrect something else.
A salmon-pink smoke is in the lab annex; resurrect a pink rat from it.
A sea-green smoke is in your father's bedroom; resurrect the troll from it. CAUTION: Hide in the closet after pushing the button so that the troll attacks the Koskos instead of you.
A cobalt-blue smoke is in the foyer after the troll battles the Koskos. CAUTION: Don't take the blue smoke and don't resurrect the Koskos!
A dark-orange smoke is in the study; you can resurrect your father from the it!
Note: Once a smoke is inside the bottle, you can no longer open the bottle until its smoke is used to resurrect something. That means you cannot empty a bottle, nor can you mix smokes together.
Detangler parts
For every part you acquire, attach it to the detangler base, then try to fire the detangler.
detangler base. Leslie gives it to you one turn after you've told her about both a first region location (such as Master Bedroom) and a first region item (such as the house key) that you're carrying.
To get the detangler with all the attachments to work, first touch the globe (of the analyzer) to yourself, then turn the knob (of the calibrator), then fire the detangler. This ends the game with you leaving the simulation, which is a good ending, but arguably not the best ending since you miss a lot of content and never rescue your father.
So, uh, you're really doing all this detangler subplot stuff to get the maximum point score.
CAUTION: If you venture from one region to the next without Leslie having a lock on your previous region, the detangler and all its attachments vanish and you lose your connection to Leslie.
a focuser. Leslie gives it to you one turn after you've told her about both a second region location (such as Edge of the Woods) and a second region item (such as the flies) that you're carrying.
a stabilizer. Leslie gives it to you one turn after you've told her about both a third region location (such as Near a Huge Device) and a third region item (such as the shovel) that you're carrying.
a power pack. Leslie gives it to you one turn after you've told her about both a fourth region location (such as Lunar Crater) and a fourth region item (a wine bottle) that you're carrying.
a recharger. Leslie gives it to you one turn after you've told her about both a fifth region location (Lunar Vinyard) and a fifth region item (the rock, but you must be on it, since you can't take it).
a calibrator. Leslie gives it to you one turn after you've told her about both a sixth region location (such as Outside Atlantean Base) and a sixth region item (such as the silver box) that you're carrying.
Attach the calibrator to the detangler, then turn its knob.
a analyzer. Leslie gives it to you one turn after you've told her about both the seventh region location (Deep Interior Room) and the seventh region item (the suspicious dial) that you're carrying.
Attach the analyzer to the detangler. If you want to end the game by escaping the simulation, touch the analyzer to yourself, then turn the knob of the calibrator, then fire the detangler.
Keys
a house key. You're carrying it.
It unlocks and locks the front door of your house.
a f-shaped key. Acquire it in the troll's cell by searching the heap of flesh.
In the maintenance room, unlock the plate with the f-shaped key.
Organics
some dead flies. They're in the garage.
In your driveway, give the flies to the mantid to make it friendly.
a lesser mantid. It's on your driveway. Give the dead flies to it first, so it's not so skittish.
At the edge of the woods, give the mantid to the Great Master. This proves your loyalty, your access to the rest of the woods is now granted.
A few turns later, the Great Master snips off the mantid's head and eats its body.
a lesser mantid head. It's at the edge of the woods a few turns after you give the lesser mantid to the Great Master.
You don't need it.
a herring. The troll has it, presumably in its stomach.
When the troll goes disintegrates itself by moving through the deadly Security force field, everything it swallowed, including the herring, is deposited in the troll's cell.
In the food locker room, put the herring into the cage's food slot. The penguin happily eats the herring and now likes you.
Most of the topics are either just humorous or provide backstory. Topics you must look up are highlighted.
a damaged scroll. It's in the archive lobby.
Read it to learn that Lucy can't be trusted.
a colorful scroll. Acquire it by searching the scrolls in the archive lobby.
Read it to learn about how to associate colors with numbers in base 5. For a small triangle: blue means 1, green means 2, yellow means 3, and reddish-orange means 4. For a large triangle, multiply the values by 5.
In the crystal mechanism room, use this info when examining the crystals to learn which number you need to set the dial to in the spring mechanism room. Act quickly before there's another quake and the crystals change color again!
a silvery scroll. Acquire it by searching the scrolls in the archive lobby a second time.
Read it to learn that Lucy stole your parents' pet; this refers to the penguin you haven't seen yet.
a science fiction novel. It's in your father's bedroom.
Read it, then ignore it.
a jagged-edged scroll. It's on the desk in the science lab.
Read it, then ignore it.
a quickpulp scroll. It's on the end table in the study.
Read it, then ignore it.
Other stuff
a sheet. It's on your bed.
The sheet is something you must have before you'll go into the woods, but otherwise, you never use it.
a backpack. It's in the master bedroom's closet.
Wear it. It is your player's carry-all. If you exceed your carrying capacity by taking something, you automatically move one or more of your inventory items into the backpack to make room.
The backpack is something you must have before you'll go into the woods.
Get into the habit of putting everything you have into the backpack before entering a new region; otherwise, some of your items outside the backpack might go missing. (This doesn't always happen with a new region, but sometimes?)
a flashlight. It's in the spare bedroom's closet.
The flashlight is something you must have before you'll go into the woods.
When you're outside the Atlantean base, turn on the flashlight, then touch the twinky pattern that appears on the wall to get inside. (If you ask Leslie about the base, you get a clue about this puzzle.)
By the way, the only dark location in the game is the utility closet near the end of the game, and only when the door is closed.
a shovel. It's near a huge device.
To obtain the shovel, try to take it, then when the man asks you if it's yours, answer YES.
At the blast site, dig (with the shovel) to obtain the helmet.
In the lunar crater, dig (with or without the shovel) to find a wooden chest.
a helmet. Acquire it in the blast site by digging there (with the shovel.
When the water bottle contains a tadpole, pour the bottle into the helmet to transfer the tadpole into the helmet. The tadpole sticks to the helmet's inner film.
Near a huge device, show the helmet-with-tadpole to the man, then wait. The man begins the sequence to fire the missile. (Note that McWiggy keeps the helmet.)
a hook. It's attached to the rope that's near a huge device.
After McWiggy starts to launch the missile, throw the hook at the missile.
Note: You cannot go anywhere with the hook, nor can you detach it from the rope.
CAUTION: If you throw the hook too soon, the game machinery may get stuck, and the missile launch never happens.
a small silver box. It's in the boring corridor that's one step east of the junction, but only after you've visited twice the boring corridor that's two steps east of the junction.
Take the button out of the box, then push the button. You are teleported to the Deep Interior Room.
Note that silver box and its button are both removed from the game when you push the button.
a suspicious dial. It's one of the controls in the Deep Interior Room, but it's difficult to find.
Look up controls in the almanac to learn about the significance of the number 14. Then search for 14 in the controls to find the dial. Set the dial to 14 to both obtain the dial and to open the fracture to the southeast.
In the spring mechanism room, put the dial in the panel, then set the dial to the number as clued by the crystals in the crystal mechanism room, using the colorful scroll as your guide for what the colors mean. (Of course, if there's no quaking and the crystals are clear, you don't need to set the dial at all.)
