A mental hospital appears in a dream when the mind is no longer able to keep its own house in order. This state shows that the thoughts are clattering against one another like loose tools in a shaken cupboard, and nothing stays where it should.
The distress of this dream is a sign that the spirit is struggling to hold onto its own boundaries. You find yourself in a place where the usual rules of the day no longer apply, and the sense of direction is gone. I have known the way my own mind felt when the noise of everything became too much to bear. There is a way to find your footing again by tending to the small, certain things of the present.
The dream of being put in a mental hospital carries a heavy sense of having no say in the matter, as if the chaos has become so great that the person is no longer the master of their own doors.
When you see the dream of escaping a mental hospital, it adds a sudden movement toward reclaiming your own agency from the confusion. This movement shows a will to break free from the patterns that have kept the mind in such a state of unrest.

Benedita LumeInterpreter interprets your dreams
Well, dear, the old houses never treated a dream as a stranger at the door. A dream was given a chair at the table like a cousin from far away. Most of what it carries is a warm sign about the life already around you, and even a hard one is usually a reminder about something small at home. Rest easy. The house is still standing.
