It seems like learning to use Dreams is training you to design transistor level logic, including complicated stuff like how to build an asynchronous circuit or a circuit with multiple power and clock domains. You could put this knowledge to use in designing a real-life custom semiconductor IC. To get a custom chip made for cheap or free, I think you can try googling for something called a semiconductor shuttle service, which is where they fabricate your project along with a bunch of others, for cheap or free.
