Perhaps... but don't forget that what I posted was only
my reaction to the movie, as opposed to the "canonical" one.

I don't remember the exact chronology (haven't seen it in a while), but I don't think all the scenes before the box being opened were meant to be part of the dream. While they reinforce and explain parts of the dream sequences, I believe the scenes that don't actually have Betty and/or Rita in them are "real life"; I think one of the clues was the sound - real world scenes have music (eg the large enforcer fellow looking for Adam), while the dreams ones just have a low hum/rumble in the background.

Didn't notice the distinction with the music. I'll pay attention to it next time I watch it (whenever that will be!).
What then, is your interpretation of the events not involving Betty we see, before "the box"?
I explained why I believed they were about Diane trying to assuage her guilt of ordering a hit on her ex-lover and her lack of general sucess in Hollywood (The "evil" monster who lives behind the "evil" cafe. The bumbling assassin. The "consiracy-theory" like dark forces pulling the strings behind the movie productions).
