As soon as everyone fell asleep, it didn't take too long for them to enter the dream realm.

Poppy was dreaming about being in a world made entirely of desserts.

She had started eating the ground, which was really hard chocolate, and picking some cookies off a bush when it had started raining fruit punch.

Poppy was excited, "Oh, yeah! Something to wash down all this chocolate!"

But then..."As you can see, Queen Poppy's dreams are prone to desserts."

Poppy looked around confused and noticed an open door, and standing there was Tug Duluth with one or two Trolls from every tribe.

She immediately went over and asked, "Tug? What are you doing here?"

Tug answered, "Fun Fact: I have started that new tour I was talking about. A tour of the dreams of the leaders of the Trollstopia. I have simply started with you!"

Poppy was excited, "Wow! A dream tour? I don't think that's ever happened before. But, how did you do all of this?"

Tug simply told her about how Cybil helped her with creating shared dreams so she could show the dreams of Trolls to other Trolls.

Poppy was excited, but then got a little concerned, "Ummm, Tug, did you ask permission to show these Trolls the royals' dreams?"

Tug said, "Fun Fact: That's why I sent those letters yesterday; to ask about their dreams and if it was OK to use them for my next tour!"

Poppy said, "Ok, if you think it's all good, I guess I'll join you."

Poppy joined them through the door, which entered a hallway of other doors leading to the connected Trolls dreams.

Tug Duluth decided to start with Trollzart's dream, "For our next stop on our tour, we'll be taking a view of Wolfgang Trollzart's dream, the leader of the Classical Trolls."

She opened the door to reveal Trollzart in a ballroom conducting a huge orchestra of moving inanimate instruments.

Trollzart shouted, "Play! Play! Beautiful!"

Tug said, "As you can see, just as Trollzart has told me, he usually dreams about conducting the instruments themselves without the use of his fellow Classical Trolls."

Trollzart wasn't happy to hear that, "What do you mean 'without the use of my Trolls?' I might enjoy conducting like this, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't need them."

Poppy told him, "I'm so sorry! Of course, you would need them! I mean, this is only a dream."

Tug decided to continue on her tour, "For the next part, I believe we should visit Delta Dawn."

Poppy had a bad feeling about this and decided to make sure nothing else went wrong.

***

Delta Dawn was dreaming about working in a field and taking care of really large vegetables.

She turned to a giant carrot and wiped it off, "Carrotina, you're gonna be the best, purtiest veggie on this side of Trollstopia!"

Tug just looked and said, "It seems that Delta Dawn dreams about taking care of nontalking plants and even goes as far as naming them."

Delta was insulted, "What?! Hey, there's nothing wrong with praising perfectly good veggies!"

Poppy tried to calm her down, "Delta, I am so sorry about this! I promise I'll talk to her about what she's doing and saying!"

Delta simply replied, "You'd better! Otherwise, that tour guide of yours is gonna end up landing you in hot water since you're her queen!"

Poppy understood what she meant and left to tell Tug to stop.

Tug and the other Trolls were back in the hallway of doors, heading for Trollex's dream.

Once she caught up with Tug, she told her, "Tug, I'm not sure we should be doing this anymore. We seem to be embarrassing people and I don't think they like the way you're giving fun facts on their dreams."

But, Tug just said, "Queen Poppy, here's a fun fact: This is actually one of the greatest tours I've ever given and that's saying a lot since this is my first time giving a tour like this."

But, Poppy wasn't moved by this statement, "Tug, I really don't think that invading peoples' dreams is a good idea. I mean, some dreams aren't really meant for other people to see. Not to mention you're making them sound bad, even though they're not."

Tug replied, "Don't worry. I'll tone it down with what I'm saying on this tour. But, as they say, the show must go on."

The group finally stopped at Trollex's door.

***

Trollex was in a room in the LED castle at Techno Reef.

He was watching a Techno Troll mother rocking her baby in her arms, with a look of love in his eyes.

The mother was actually Trollex's mother, Queen Marine, and the baby was actually Trollex when he was just a couple of months old.

Queen Marine gently rocked Trollex in her arms to put him to sleep and as she rocked him, she sang him a lullaby.

*Sings 'Song of the Sea (Lullaby)'*

As she was finishing the lullaby, she put Trollex in his crib and covered him with a blanket as he fell fast asleep.

Tug and her group were watching from the door and Tug said, "As you can see, most of King Trollex's dreams are precious childhood memories. I mean, this has to be the most adorable memory anyone could have!"

All of the other Trolls went, "Awwww!"

Trollex noticed the group and seemed a little bothered, "Hey! This is a private dream!"

Tug immediately took that to heart, "Fun Fact: I think we should continue on to the Funk family's dreams!"

The group immediately ran out into the hallway.

Trollex swam up to Poppy, "Poppy, our dreams are only meant for the dreamers and no one else."

Poppy replied, "I'm so sorry, Trollex! I'm trying to stop her, but she just won't listen. I guess she's just gonna have to learn the hard way."

Trollex just said, "Let's hope that happens sometime tonight before she embarrasses anyone else."
