Questions:
1 what was about the conversation being interupted by the noises? was does it mean?
2. Walking in the fields - what was the interpretation? is luis bunuel trying to show that it is just a dream or it shows that the bourgeoisie are worthless without the lower class people?
3. what did really happened from start to finish? was rafael dreaming the whole time?
Nobody can give you an answer. This film is a challenge for you, as for everybody, so you, as everybody, have to find your own answer, and this answer will be the right one. Bunuel challenges you, for he respects you and your ability of understanding and interpretation.

i didn't think there could be any answers or explanations upon my first viewing because the entire movie was based on interpretations - from who truly heard or said the true initial dinner invite date to the context in which the dreams fit in the movie.
i consider the movie to be more of a video of a journey left up to your own interpretation. you ARE the characters and are going on the same journey and may even perceive it all exactly like them.

I think the general sense of the movie is that it tells the supreme truth about life and people, by the way of using the irreal combinations of the real things - that's Surrealism!
Listen to your enemy, for God is talking
1. This means that the bourgeoisie can commit offences that may be covered up by noises from above. Friends in high places, etc.
2. The bourgeoisie will continue no matter what disasters or revolutions take place. They will continue walking along that road.
3. Yes; it was all Rafael's dream. Buñuel's small joke is to end the film in the worst possible way - the way an eleven-year-old ends an essay: then I woke up.
I agree, actually, re no.2 form the original poster - I thought it showed how lost they would be without the existence of the workers: no one to drive them - no one to build the cars in the first place. No buildings in which they might eat - no one to build them in the first place. No skills of their own to survive, so they just keep walking, walking . . . it wouldn't even occur to them to take charge of their own destinies, forage for food, shelter, anything. I was struck by how Audran's character felt it beneath her to even so much as open the door or answer the phone, even when she was standing closer to either thing than Ines the maid.
