Your turn ends.3. Creature 1 turn:  It is now someone else's turn, at the start of his turn your speed is 30, your movement is 0 because it is someone else's turn.4. Creature 1 turn:  The trigger event happens, you can choose to use your reaction (on this turn) to "dash action" or you can choose not to.  If you choose not to use your reaction now and the trigger event  happens again you can use it at that time, or you can use your reaction for a normal reaction later.  But you can only use your reaction once.  You choose to use your reaction to "dash action" right now.5. Creature 1 turn: Dash action increases your movement by your speed on the "current turn" when it is taken.  Your movement increases from 0 to 30 THIS  turn (0+30=30).6. Creature 1 turn: You can move up to 30 feet. You choose to move 20 feet.  Your movement is now 10 feet.7. Creature 1 turn ends8. Creature 2 turn:  Your movement is now 0 again because it is no longer the "current turn" when the dash action was taken and you do not get any normal movement on another creatures turn.  You have also used your reaction.9. Creature 2 turn ends10. Your turn:  Your movement is 30, you can take an action a bonus action and move this turn.It is actually in the equation that you have quoted above. 0+30=30 --> 0 (normal movement on someone else's turn) +30 (dash as ready action on someone eles's turn) = 30If he could not move, the equation would not be there , his movement would equal 0 not 30.One additional thing to note - this uses your reaction, so if you have something else that allows movement on another turn as areaction (example scout skirmisher ability) you can't add these.  You would need to use your reaction for one or the other.</blockquote>
