Whenever Blanche DuBois is stressed or in a moment of anxiety, the music of the Varsouviana plays. The music is what was being played the night her young husband died. Thus, when she feels stress, she is reminded of that night.

A Streetcar Named Desire what does belle reve mean what does it refer to in the play?
It literally means 'beautiful dream' in French. Superficially, it refers to Blanche and Stella's ancestral home in Laurel, Mississippi. On a deeper level it is referring to the illusion, the dreams, that each of the characters aspires to have. In the vein of the topic this query falls under, I assume you are wondering how it ties in with Stanley's abuse of Stella; it does - in a serious way. Stella is holding on to her beautiful dream of her family - the husband and child she is carrying (later has) are her beautiful dreams. She makes choices throughout the play that show her Belle Reve is more important to her than are the (what are now - not then) acceptable social norms. Stella took the abuse from Stanley - and indeed admitted it turns her on a bit (adrenaline rush does that). This abuse was not behind closed doors as most was in the late 40s but out in the public - in full view of family and friends. This meant her Belle Reve was obviously not in contradiction with reality - unlike Blanche's.
