This metagallery of imagery,
web links and resources is devoted to imagery and information relating
to derangement of the senses: madness, dreams, intoxication, or mystic
states. .Some related books and videos are at the Surreal
World Bookstore.
Art by schizophrenics, and accounts of schizophrenic beliefs, are generally
interesting. Click on the above image to go to searcher's
outsider art quest links page...with links to many sites with galleries.

seem to be a completely separate category of art, are perhaps even more
common on this links page.]
