What I would do; since you have 8 dreamies, Coach more than likely won't ask to move yet. This has always worked for me, but everyone does something different. I go around talking to everyone until someone asks to move, tell them not to if it's a dreamie. Then save and quit, TT 1 month forward, save and quit TT one month back exactly and walk around. Each time someone will always want to move when you go backwards, even if you don't get asked change the time so different villagers are out, but you can't TT forward again until you know who's moving (and stop them if it's a dreamie). Otherwise, when you TT fowrard someone will be gone >.< I'm sorry if that's really confusing, I'm sure someone could word it better, but I would do it until skye wants to move, and then after they do again for coach!
Here is how I got my last two non-dreamies out:
1. Talk to every single villager at least once in your town (S/Q and load again to move villagers you can't find) You need to do this so no one becomes ignored.
2. Find two villagers and talk to them until they need alone time or until a mover is mentioned (Apparently, Snooty, Cranky, Smug, and Peppy are the best for telling you there's a mover)
3. If a mover is mentioned, find them, approve/deny.
4. TT 4 days ahead and then repeat. If you don't find a mover that day, just TT one day ahead at a time until a mover is mentioned. After a villager wants to move it's safe to TT 4 days because that's around the time the next will want to move.
I had 8 dreamies and two unwanted and it takes some time but you won't lose anyone. It took me about 8 cycles to get Bam out and 5 or 6 for Purrl. Now I have all ten dreamies! Good luck!

ignore them for a long time
hit them with a net
push them into pitfalls
push them
open their letters and presents meant for other villlagers/time caspule
deny their errand requests
make them go hungry (by denying their requests for food)
any way to make them feel unwelcome.

^ Doing the things above does not necessarily make them move. The game still generates these as interactions with the villager, whether negative or not. The villagers aren't smart enough to realize what you are doing and then choose to leave 
Any kind of interaction, even if its being rude to them or denying them a favor, still counts as a way to grow the friendship. Which in my opinion has nothing to do with them wanting to move. I have had villagers move out quickly after moving in, and only after having talked to them once or twice.
When trying to move someone out I simply do similar to what the others posted, TT a couple to a few days ahead and make sure to take to everyone, whether they ping you or not. When a dreamie asks to move, obviously say no. And eventually the one you want to leave will finally ask.

You could also create a new character and only introduce them to ONLY the villagers you want to move! They will eventually be cycled out because they are not on the friendship ladder with the new character.

this is correct! hitting them or ignoring doesnt work at all, so dont even bother with that. the only thing you can do is cycle them out using this method ^^. when villagers asks to move and you want to keep them, deny the request and tt 3 or 4 days ahead, and talk to two villagers who your close with (the ones your closer with will either say the rumour that someones leaving, or the rumour they will say if no one is moving faster- for example, normals will say something about how you should never repeat a rumour. dont worry too much about a dreamies being in boxes if you time travel, their moving date is usually a week or so after they ping you the first time so four days wouldnt make them move. but remember, if no one is moving after you have time travelled 4 days in a row, you should only time travel a day at a time, because if its been four days since someone pinged to move, someone else should be planning to move soon after. good luck!
I also did something like this from a guide I read. source
1. Speak to everyone once. Save and quit game.
2. Load game. Walk in front of everyone. Save and quit to cycle the villagers walking outside. Make sure you walk in front of everyone! If no one pings to leave, time travel a day forward and repeat process of walking in front of everyone. Keep doing this by TTIng one day at a time until you get a ping to move.
3. If someone you want to keep pings you, deny their request, and TT one month ahead. Load game, save and quit. Then TT back to the date you were on before. If someone you want to lose pings you, accept their request and immediately TT to their move out date. Save and quit. TT one day forward and they should be gone. Even if the unwanted villager changes their mind when you accept their request, you can close the game without saving and still TT to move out date. They should be in boxes.
The steps of cycling out villagers is in the 4th section from the source I linked. It's also more descriptive than what I wrote so you can use that!
None of this works at all, it actually does more harm then good. They won't ping as often if you abuse them and it's also likely that if they do want to move and you tell them to they'll change their mind.
From my experience if you ignore a villager (you barely talk to them) or you're mean to them, they're less likely to move. And then there's a chance in the case of an ignored villager where they'll ping you, tell you about moving, and when you sound excited for them to go they'll change their mind because they think you should get to know them better.
The best method is keeping everyone decently talked to/helped out so the friendship level is somewhere in the middle, so there's a chance they'll ping you with a move when they actually want to move, but it will still be a 1/10 chance. Just be patient and travel back and forth three to four days as to not to lose a dreamie and keep trying until somebody pings you. One thing to remember is that on a set day, only a certain villager is going to ping you so resetting isn't going to help get a different ping.

Instead of TTing four days ahead, could just TTing one day ahead work too? I'm a bit apprehensive of TTing that much.

I was too. You can do it day by day if you want to be extra safe -- I started off doing it day by day as well. Once a villager pings to move, I'm fairly sure from how often I did this that another villager won't ask to move until at LEAST another 3 days after the first. I didn't lose a villager doing this and I had 8 others to lose. I wouldn't worry too much.

Yay! Good bye Paula! I TTed one day and then back; I had to restart once because I got pinged by Keaton to catch him a stupid fish; I didn't think it'd work. She's not the one I wanted to leave right away, but I did want her gone eventually.
Thanks for the help :].

Ignore thoughs uggo villagers untill they die from insanity... or just move out, it took a week for yuka to move out for me, after not talkingto her once.
Ignoring them seems to be the best method. You must introduce yourself, and that is the only time you talk to them, after that just leave that ugly thing alone, one conversation could change that week to a month.
however if your willing to time travel, it would be a lot easyer

For starters, Do not bully them!!! This Actually makes them stay as you are making them talk to you. If you want them to move out you should ignore them.
My trick is to time travel two days into the future, and talk to all the villagers I want to stay. This will make you befriend these villagers making them less likely to move out and make the disliked villager more likely. Don't go near the villager you want to move and keep talking to the ones you do like. They should say after a few times that someone is thinking of moving (if someone is). If they don't after about five times, then time-travel another two days, and talk to the villagers again.
If someone is run in-front of them so they can tell you about them wanting to move. If you want them to stay tell them not to move and if you want them to move tell them to move. Sometimes villagers won't tell you about their moving date, so wait until the next day if you want them to stay so they can ask you. Remember to talk to the villagers you want to keep so the ones you dislike move out and not the ones you like.
If you don't time-travel, you'll have to wait instead of time-travelling.
