'Today I dreamed I was in heaven and the dragon told me to climb on his back and he would take me to the light. He did, and when we arrived I entered the light and my mother woke me up. '- Tofol

This magical event evokes memories of dreams, fantasy, hopes and fears, childhood innocence and simplicity.

The animated 3D movie Journey Among Dreams debuts at this kid event - a film for children about dreams, fantasy and science.

The paintings, crafts and animated films are moving and thought provoking.

Israeli schools and television programs encouraged Israeli children to document their dreams and aspirations into drawings, paintings and texts. Three of the best were transformed into short animated films that you can see at the exhibition.

In case you fall in love with one of the pictures, most of the original Israeli art work is for sale at incredibly reasonable prices ranging from $ 200 to $ 750.
