Exactly. Which one to use all depends on what word follows it.

Can this be also written as 「楽しすぎてまるで夢みたいです。」?At the very beginning of our conversation in the other thread, you taught me the phrase 「まるで....... またい」. Can みたい & のように interchangeable?
Yes, you can say it that way as well. And yes, they are basically interchangeable but you will need to remember that のよう sounds a little bit less casual than みたい. So, depending on the context, it's safe not to change them around. I recommend that you not keep saying みたい all day. That will make you sound like a 9-year-old.

Quote:
すぎて -> すぎる?? The whole sentence means "Too much fun that it's like a dream" ?
Yes, that's what it means. In kanji, it's 過ぎる. It's a very useful word, too.

クリスマスは食べ過ぎた = I ate too much around Christmas.
ナゴヤンキーはかっこよ過ぎる = Nagoyankee is way too cool.
あのレストランは高過ぎる(たかすぎる) = That restaurant is too expensive.

Finally, 出し抜けテスト ---> 抜き打ちテスト(ぬきうち). Not that you need to know the word right now.
