German term

traumverhangen

German to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
An der einen Wand hängen handsignierte Fotos von Formel-l-Weltmeister Lewis Hamilton, der von SAP gesponsert wird. Früher ist Apotheker selbst Rallye gefahren, in einem Saab 99, erzählt er. An der Wand gegenüber hängen traumverhangene Lithografien von Marc Chagall. Rennsport and Kunst, für Apotheker schließt sich das nicht aus, im Gegenteil: Schaut her, ich kann alles, ich bin in allem versiert, ich keime mich überall aus, schreit es in diesem Zimmer von den Wänden.

dream-imbued

A bit closer to the original. "Imbued" is often used to describe paintings:

"Dream-shrouded" would be more literal, but in English that would imply that the images are obscured by a layer of dreams.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Stephen Reader : would agree but the tone of the passage rings a touch less erudite to me.
