In the cloud room, a cave of pillowy shapes is lit with the colors of the rainbow. The ball pit is a lake of intense blue. The word room invites you to literally play on "WORDS,” spelled out in giant climbable letters.

The vivid areas are part of the new “dreamscapes” art exhibit opening Friday at The Gateway, with 17 imaginative realms to explore.
