Dream Sequence

In the IMDb filter for 'dream sequence' and '1970-79', I came across two films where I couldn't identify any dream sequences. Is there any possibility of obtaining timestamps for the scenes that were categorized as dream sequences?

GREASE 1978

I'm currently researching the musical attributes of dreams in film for my paper in musicology. I aim to explore how these musical elements differ from the rest of the movie's soundtrack, particularly how filmmakers convey a dream with sound.

To establish a framework for my research, I utilized the IMDb filter for 'dream sequence' in movies from the 1970s within a specific rating range. This yielded a manageable selection of 25 films, spanning various genres and countries. In the initial stage of my thesis, I need to provide a clear definition of the term "dream" itself. To maintain consistency, I plan to use the IMDb's definition of a Dream Sequence as the basis for my analysis.

Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

IMDb doesn't provide definitions of most keywords. You should probably assume a broad understanding of a concept like dream sequence. My best guess is that the keyword on Grease may have been intended for Frenchy seeing Frankie Avalon singing, for example.
