The "dumb" terminal is dumb: i.e. it can only print text. It cannot go back, and overwrite previously-written text. I don't believe gnuplot has a terminal that both
produces output as text on the console
uses console control characters to overwrite previous output
So I don't think what you're asking for is possible. But I cannot believe you actually want it. Why wouldn't you use any of the graphical terminals?
Ok, thanks.

GUIs are slow, hard to window manage, do not work remotely, ... .
Using
feedgnuplot --stream --terminal 'dumb 120,30' --lines
causes continuous new plots to be outputted, not updating a single plot:I tried
--terminal 'domterm'
which hanged, and--terminal 'xterm'
