The dream scenes that ended up in the movie were initially meant to be one long opening sequence. Another dream sequence was scripted and filmed in which Sam flies over a field of eyes, which then start slowly moving to follow his descent on a pillar. The eyes were made of snooker balls with false irises added. The eye symbol is also seen in other Terry Gilliam movies, including L'esercito delle 12 scimmie (1995). However, the makers agreed that although the idea was good, it didn't work for the movie, so the decision was later made to divide the opening dream sequences over the movie, to fill the "empty" spaces between chapters.
