I know what you mean about wanting to use variables for everything. I was a programmer for years.
But I really recommend not trying to use variables for anything, to save your sanity and actually make your life a whole lot easier.
In Dreams, everything is "live", parallel and happening at the same time (theoretically). Which means if you have a calculator which adds one thing to another thing... no need to store it at all. It'll always send that result no matter what. So just wire that straight into whatever you need the value for.
Variables are very rarely needed. If you need a value to persist between scenes or between plays, fair enough. But the cases when non-persistent variables are needed are very few and far between.
