In the film Dune (2021), why was this line, "Dreams are messages from the deep." spoken in an alien voice/language? This entire film felt like a dream. What does it mean?

1I haven't seen the new film and it's been some time since I read any of the novels, but this review attempts to answer the Q with the idea that "Paul's dreams" factor into all the pressure and mistrust he feels. piedmontroar.com/9574/sliderposts/….– Darth LockeCommented Mar 5, 2022 at 20:13

This entire film felt like a dream
There is a popular fans theory (never confirmed) that the whole film is indeed a dream of Leto II, the God Emperor. He was heavily using prescience, and could essentially see into the past and future freely.
"Dreams are messages from the deep." is not a sentence from the books, it was added by the film director, so it might be a hint the above theory is correct.

The film being a dream/ancestral memory of Leto II is great. Inspired by your answer, some internet sleuthing turned up this interview with the film's editor Joe Walker mentioning the creation/use of the voice/message at the opening.– BakerCommented Mar 6, 2022 at 18:10

And someone spliced together the opening chant with the Sardukar chanter on Salusa Secondus. They're the same.– BakerCommented Mar 6, 2022 at 18:14
