during Scottie's nightmare the audience is shown his fear of vertigo and his obsession with Madalene. the scene starts with a normal setting with Scottie in bed, giving us the context of reality and sanity. We then get a close up shot of his face to suggest that we will be seeing things from his perspective. Which starts changing to a blue gel and keeps flashing back to normal, suggesting that we are entering a surreal sequence. The flashing gel changes to a dark washed out purple before going bright purple. This transition from normal colours, to surreal colours to a more 'fantasy' choice of colours shows that we are moving further and further away from reality and normality. Scottie's eyes open and we begin to see the crazy images he sees as we see a focus on the colour purple, the colour of Carlotta Valdes, her and bouquet of flowers, Carlotta and Carlotta's portrate with emphasis on her neclace.
