The Dream is a 1911 one-reel film produced and released by the Independent Moving Pictures Company (IMP) and directed by Thomas H. Ince and George Loane Tucker.
In the next scene, introduced by a title card stating "HIS DREAM", the wife returns, clad in a form-fitting dress and a plumed hat.
She pelts him with a pillow that has been lying on the floor, slings her coat over her arm, pulls down the curtains covering the door, and blows the husband a kiss goodbye.
The wife and her gentleman caller arrive by taxi at the fancy restaurant where they are shown to the same table the husband had occupied earlier.
There he rants wildly, repeatedly grasping his forehead before settling down to compose a letter which reads in part "You're not the woman I supposed you were."
While she turns her attention to preparing dessert on the dining room table, he pulls his address book from his suitcoat pocket and shreds it.
