Harrison viewed a rough edit of the film several times at Twickenham Film Studios to determine the type of music required for each scene. Using his notes from these screenings, which included precise timings for each segment, he then composed the musical pieces. Typically of many of the selections in Wonderwall, the title of "Dream Scene" conveys its place in the story. The track appears in the film's first, extended dream sequence and was originally titled "Dream Sequence". The scene consists of an imaginary duel between the scientist and the model's boyfriend, a fashion photographer. During the duel, their weapons change from swords to various giant-sized items, including a pen, an electric drill, a cigarette and a lipstick holder.
Recording
"Dream Scene" is a composite of recorded segments using Western and Indian sounds that Harrison edited together. He began recording "Swordfencing" – a short piece that formed part of "Dream Scene" – on 22 November 1967. Following the completion of his work on the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour, this session marked the start of recording for the Wonderwall soundtrack and took place at EMI Studios (now Abbey Road Studios) in London. Using a tabla player and flautists Richard Adeney and Jack Ellory, Harrison taped four takes of "Swordfencing", in addition to working on pieces titled "India", "Backwards Tabla" and "Backwards Tones". The following day, he recorded a further twelve takes with a line-up comprising two oboe players, a trumpeter and two flautists.
