The only time you would use ! orders would be againsta single target,
which seems a little redundant to me. The new rules are much better in

When you dream there are no rules, people can fly, anything can happen.
Sometimes, there's a moment as you're waking, that you become aware of
the real world around you, but you're still dreaming.
You may think you can fly, but you better not try it...
