If its a full dump file then its probably a mixture of information about loaded modules, exception information, and raw memory addresses. You should open this in a hex editor to see what data it contains, but most of the data is probably raw memory, which isn't convertible to text. You can convert it over to hex, but to understand any of it is a topic that can't be answered here, you have to be able to load symbol files and correlate them to memory addresses.

Doing so is very advanced, loading symbol tables, analyzing memory, etc. Are you trying to load full dumps or the mini-dumps?

Either way, look up the file format information for the dump file, open it in a hex editor, and see how the data is organized and how you can load it in.
