Perchance: The Ocean County Library headquarters in Toms River presents “Dreams Real and Imagined,” an exhibit by Ocean County-based artist Michelle Dillon, April 2 through 30.

The display of oils and collage in the ground-floor McConnell Gallery reflects Dillon’s exploration of dreams as a path to joy.

“I wonder about dreams,” she said. “Daydreams, night dreams, dreams of the future. Dreams can heal. Dreams can create. Dreams can be a gateway to self-exploration and greater happiness.
