Shaping Thought: Salvador Dali and his dream sequence in Alfred Hitchcock's Spellbound (1945)

The dream sequence in Alfred Hitchcock's Spellbound (1945) is the reason given as to why eyes kept cropping up in the background when Porky Pig revisits Wackyland in the colourised remake, which I talk about here.

This article here shows the official story about how Hitchcock ended up working with Dali, but since the eyes in the dream sequence in Spellbound once again serve to anchor the idea that "eyes = crazy" in the subconscious of the viewer, and the motif was "borrowed" in Dough for the Do-Do, which evolved in Babs in Wackyland, I figured that it was eyes for a reason. Could Dali have ties to the Illuminati? The answer is yes.

It turns out that Dali was not only a guest at the Rothschild's Ball in 1972, he designed the costumes... the symbolism suggests multiple personalities and mind control.

Here's another take on the ball, from the VC web site. I am also curious as to why we only see pictures from this particular ball, I'd assume it wasn't just a one off. Just like how it's recently been leaked that Matt Hancock has had an affair and has resigned, a convenient fall guy to keep the people sweet as he acts out his part, I'm sure the general public only get to see what they want us to see.

Anyway, here's the Salvador Dali Dream Sequence from Spellbound (1945):

Here's four pictures from right at the start:

Yes, a man even cuts through a huge eye to reveal... another huge eye! They do a good job of setting the scene and, more to the point, to make people associate any talk of one eye with somebody being crazy, as the man continues to describe the subsequent bizarre events that unfold on the screen.
