I plumped for this Francisco Goya etching, which has two titles: 1) The sleep of reason produces monsters (No. 43) from Los Caprichos and 2) A man asleep dreaming of monsters (1796-98). Fergus Walsh, the BBC's medical correspondent, also took a dip and came up with humorous medical cartoons (CLICK).
