An exhibition exploring dreams and nightmares, featuring artwork from contemporary artists and former patients, will open at the Bethlem Museum of the Mind in August. The show will explore the complex relationship between dreams, mental health, and the human experience. The exhibition, titled "Between Sleeping and Waking: Hospital Dreams and Visions," will include paintings by Charlotte Johnson Wahl, a former Maudsley patient, and a large installation by Kate McDonnell. It will also feature works by historical figures like Jonathan Martin and James Hadfield. The Bethlem Museum of the Mind, located in London, houses a collection reflecting the spectrum of dreams. The exhibition aims to capture the intrigue of nighttime experiences and their connection to mental well-being.
