I Would go with a wooden frame bolted to the ceiling rafters. Any adhesive might give way and would be very hard to dismantle if desired.

I've done this before, I used 3 ft by 3 ft square mirrors. 2 mirrors wide by 3 mirrors long so the mirrors above the bed are 6' X 9'.
I built a wooden frame, similar to a giant window frame so that each mirror has it's own complete 4 sided frame. Then suspended the frame from the ceiling. I am able to lift the mirrors out from the top for cleaning and they have about an inch of wood surrounding each mirror... My homeowners insurance agent was even impressed, so it's apparently safe.

I would prep your ceiling so that it is smooth (in case you have popcorn or some other texture on your ceiling), then use any one of a number of glues available to adhere the mirror glass to the ceiling. Then frame as desired and your in business.

drill small holes all around the mirror about 5 in apart. Put some Liquid weld adhesives on the back of the mirror have someone hold it here and then take small screws and screw it in place.

there is a mirror adhesive you can get that holds like nails. it absolutely won't fall. but, if you or anyone ever wants to take it down, you'll pretty much have to break it in pieces and then fix the drywall
why not get mirrored closet doors instead? they make the room look bigger and prettier, and you can position your bed beside them and get GREAT views that way. really, works great!

Don't do it. Mates change. The next one might not be kinkey. Use a video camera wired to a tv. Removing the mirror would be a nightmare.

either get a professional or find out where the studs are.. and use a bolting system to hold them in.
either or mirrors have their issues... you may wish to use foam and bonding agents to keep them in place, making sure they have just enough space between them to take the shifting that happens in the soil during the wet spells, heat, cold... cuz they'll crack and chip if you don't.
read up on it alot... ask folks who know....

I personally would frame the mirror and screw it to the ceiling,less damage to ceiling.

DO NOT, under ANY circumstances, hire the construction company who built the Big Dig in Boston.
