This paper studies a statistical physics model called dimer model over a finite bipartite planar graph. A dimer covering of a graph is a perfect edge-matching of vertices. Continuum windings and Gaussian free fields have been studied in view of their relationship with imaginary geometry. Some discrete estimates on uniform spanning trees are investigated through Russo-Seymour-Welsh type estimates as well as tail estimates for winding of loopless random walks. Let \(P\) be a three-dimensional plane with normal vector having positive coordinates and \(D\) a planar connected bounded domain with locally connected boundary. It is shown there is a sequence of planar domains \(U\) with tiling of lozenges of size \(\delta\) whose boundary height stays at distance \(o(1)\) of \(P\), the boundary of \(U\) converges to that of \(D\) in Hausdorff sense, and \((h-\mathbb{E}h)/\delta\) tends to \((\sqrt{2}/2\pi)h_{GFF}\circ\ell\) in distribution as \(\delta\) goes to zero, where \(h\) is the height function, \(\ell\) is a linear map determined by \(P\) and \(h_{GFF}\) is a Gaussian free field with Dirichlet boundary conditions in \(\ell(D)\).
