Dream sequence

The dream sequence is the kite scene. Originally there were going to be dream sequences for each Groover while they were sleeping at the Giant set. Judd Nelson's scene was shot but the film was ruined before it was developed. Judd Nelson's dream was where he was lying on a bridge reaching down to different characters floating by in a river below. They were a nurse, a nun, a court jester, a doctor, and a businessman. He keeps reaching for them but they always just miss. Finally he reaches out for himself and then realizes it's his own dead body. That would have been really weird to see in the film. Dorman's dream involved him running through a forest after some leprechauns and when he reaches their cave they're eating a giant lobster, so he sits down and joins them and then does a belly-flop into a huge tub of butter. Lester didn't have a dream, they just showed a TV test-pattern when they got to him. I read somewhere that that scene was actually filmed too. Waggener didn't have a dream. He lied awake all night because he was upset about losing Debbie. That would explain why he was asleep when Phil and Gardner are setting up the wedding.

Well, I guess the wedding dance sequence as a dream could
be left open to interpretation. Once Gardner hands the end
of the bandanna to Ms. Amis (The Girl), and they move
out to start dancing, they are at first surrounded by the
guests, then the lights kinda fade (the effect of cutting from
between scenes) and when the comey back to full all of the guests
are gone and it's just the two of them dancing until the end
of the song where the image fades back into decorative lights,
and then comes back to the two of them facing each other
standing still. That's when Gardner attempts to give her a
kiss on the lip's and she stops him with a quick kiss to his
cheek. So, either there was some enormous power sucking
where those two were zapped into another dimension, minus
everyone else in the world, or it was being imagined/dreamed
by one or the other, or the directors intent to show all of the
focus on them dancing the Fandango. No, it's not filmed in
the same style of the other dream sequences, however it's
also not 'real time', something in between.. It certainly
could be a dream of mine!!
