Music journalist D.J. Pangburn likens this final part to "Indian-inspired jazz". The song fades out with a slowed-down spoken voice over the sound of church bells.
Leng identifies "Dream Scene" as a "juxtaposition of opposites" due to its contrasting musical styles and moods. He notes that it was recorded several months before "Revolution 9"– Lennon's well-known sound collage, which incorporates musique concrète and other avant-garde elements, and was released on The Beatles (also known as the White Album). Authors Chip Madinger and Mark Easter similarly comment that Harrison's contribution to "Revolution 9" "may have been understated in retrospect after listening to ['Dream Scene']".
Release
Wonderwall Music was the first solo release by a member of the Beatles, as well as the first album issued on their new record label, Apple Records. Apple released the album on 1 November 1968 in Britain, with the US release following on 2 December. "Dream Scene" was sequenced as the final track on side one of the LP. In the US, Capitol Records, Apple's distributor, re-banded several of the tracks, so that the song appeared as part of a medley with the three tracks preceding it: "Greasy Legs", "Ski-ing" and "Gat Kirwani" On the mono version of the album, issued in the UK only, the mix for "Dream Scene" differed from the stereo release, due to the shorter fade-in given to the Indian segment and, in the final segment, differences in the content and positioning of the loops. The LP insert carried a message reading: "Special thanks to friends, loops and all the staff at EMI Bombay."
