The albion is not their dream. the 'albion' is the roman name for great britian and arcadia is an imaginary lawless land pete and carl invented. this parts means england or 'albion' is slowing moving turning into a lawless ideal land for pete ad carl

Albion was also a ship.

Arcadia is not an imaginary place,it exists in Greece.

Arcadia is also just generally accepted as synonymous with Utopia --> some sort of idealistic place So not really something Carl and Pete made up, but yes altogether a nonexistent land based upon some combination of ideals. Perhaps lawlessness fits into the equation but I'm not sure that covers it.
