I don't use much dired; you could do too:

    M-x server-start RET
    M-x shell RET
    cd $where_you_want
    emacsclient -n [^#]*[^~] RET

or:
    (require 'cl)

    (dolist (f (delete-if 
                 (lambda (path) (not (string-match ".*/[^#/][^/]*[^~/]$" path)))
                 (file-expand-wildcards "/where/you/want/*")))
      (find-file f))

Do not adjust your mind, there is a fault in reality.
