There is no such things as "the data dictionary" in the sense you appear to be using it.

The data dictionary, depending upon how one uses the term, is a collection of tables and views. If you want the definitions of those objects go to $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin and look in the file SQL.BSQ, catalog.sql, and catproc.sql. You can also spool off the results of statements such as:

SELECT object_name
FROM dba_objects
WHERE ....; If you want the contents of the tables ... I don't even want to go there.
