Created by Russian artists Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, The House of Dreams is "a series of distinct meditative spaces, [that] encourage visitors to enter into a world of fantasy and daydreams". What did visitors to the Serpentine make of it?
Laura, Germany: I've just been in hospital so I didn't like it so much, because it's similar. You lie down to sleep but there are voices around you.
Megan, London: I just had 45 minutes' sleep! I find it so hard to sleep normally - that was amazing.
Justin: I was worried about losing track of time. I wonder why they made it so white - dreams can be any colour. It made you think about internal and external space, and became more a work about thresholds than dreams; about having your private spaces invaded.
