Stepping into the lobby of the Dream Hotel on W 55th puts you in an altered state before you even step into the elevator to the penthouse to enjoy Ava Lounge.  The hotel is brimming with other-worldly curiosities from your deepest dreams and nightmares -- a giant barrel-shaped fish tank, enormous Buddhas, cabinets of exotic treasures, a raven, and other oddities. Even the elevator ride is marked by video of a soothing massage treatment and huge blue-tinted photo murals on each floor (and the elevator seems to stop on each floor).  The rooftop enjoys elegant views of Midtown and Broadway reaching into Times Square for nearly 360 degrees around the roof. Attentive and very lovely waitresses bring your beverages and remember your poison.  If your fortunate enough to be there for a catered event, the vittles are well presented (guac served in pepper shells and multi-color corn chips, skewered shrimps and chickens, and many more choices). And the restrooms, are neat and sleek, decorated with beautiful photography and peephole cut-outs on the stalls -- don't worry, they're way to high to offend your modesty -- if you have any.
