Spoiler:
At the end of the film you get the notion that Alice may have not been dreaming and enjoying herself at the orgy. Does this seem plausible ?

Alice was home in bed. Dreaming.
She never went where the rainbow ends with the sailor, but was obviously tempted and admitted it. Eventually.
Bill was tempted, and actually attempted to find the pot of gold...and admitted it, eventually. How much of why Bill wanted sex (if that is what he actually wanted...) was due to revenge, how much to desire, how much to fear?

She recites the dream, which gives him shivers.
She wakes to him crying, holding her and saying "I'll tell you everything" and she simply holds him? There's no alarm in her behavior, which is telling and disturbing!
It isn't until the following scene when she's crying that one would think she cared at all. She's rather nonchalant, even when he asks her what to do next, and her answer is basically "who knows how long we'll be together, but we should have sex ASAP". :/
She's a bit of a closet freak, and tries to tell him but he doesn't believe her. I think most of the movie is demonstrating just how wrong he is about women, but specifically his wife.
i think she was somehow projecting what Mandy experienced during those orgies.
without the murder afterward.
