Is it possible to wire a dimmer switch off another dimmer switch for a completeley different light?

No, the dimmer switch needs its own individual circuit power supply to feed the fixtures connected to it. The black of the second dimmer switch can not be connected to the red wire of the first dimmer switch. Now if you are talking about using a common "hot" to feed two dimmer switches then this can be done. The neutrals will be common also. So what you should have is two black wires connected together with the incoming "hot". Two neutrals connected together with the incoming white. The red from each dimmer is then connected to its own individual fixture load.

How do you replace a dimmer light switch with a regular light switch coming off of a wall plug ive got 2 black wires 2 white wires 2 grounds and one red wire going to the light?

To replace the dimmer switch with a regular switch, connect one black wire to the switch's black screw, the other black wire to the switch's red screw, the two white wires together with a wire nut, and two ground wires to the green screw on the switch. The red wire is likely a traveler wire for a three-way switch setup, so it can be capped off with a wire nut. Be sure to turn off the power before making any connections.
