In the film, it's awkwardly sandwiched between the two halves of Pippen and the palantir which might have flowed better as one continuous scene.
(One of my pet peeves is PJ's predilection for rapid intercutting between unrelated scenes ... makes me dizzy ) But that's a whole other subject.
Anyway, for the very few (Jnyusa!) who have not yet seen ROTK EE ....
Aragorn enters the great hall and sees Eowyn sleeping on a couch by the fire.
He covers her bare feet with her robe and then moves to cover her shoulders.
Eowyn: What time is it?
Aragorn: Not yet dawn.
He turns to leave, she grasps his hand and he turns back to her with a concerned look.
Eowyn: I dreamed I saw a great wave climbing over green lands and above the hills
I stood upon the brink. It was utterly dark in the abyss before my fate. A light shone behind me,
but I could not turn … I could only stand there … waiting. (a single tear rolls down her cheek)
Aragorn gently releases her hand.
Aragorn: Night changes many thoughts …. Sleep Eoywn. Sleep ... While you can.

For contrast, here's from the book:
ROTK: The Steward and the King.
<sw00n>
Quote: 'It reminds me of Numenor,' said Faramir, and wondered to hear himself speak.
'Of Numenor?' said Eowyn.
'Yes.' said Faramir. 'of the land of Westernesse that foundered, and of the great dark wave climbing over green lands and above the hills, and comming on, darkness unescapable. I often dream of it.'
'Then you think that the Darkness is comming?' said Eowyn. 'Darkness unescapable?' And suddenly she drew close to him.
'No,' said Faramir, looking into her face. 'It was but a picture in my mind.
I do not know what is happening. The reason of my waking mind tells me that great evil has befallen and we stand at the end of days. But my heart says nay; and all my limbs are light, and a hope and a joy are come to me that no reason can deny. Eowyn, Eowyn. White Lady of Rohan, in this hour I do not believe that any darkness will endure!' And he stooped and kissed her brow.
It makes more sense for the dream to be in HOH, does it not? I'd prefer Faramir to speak of the image of drowing Numenor but Eowyn could have been given the dream ... although Numenorean blood is much more
dilute in her than in Faramir. Isn't it? I seem to remember reading a very geeky TORC thread where Eoywn's ancestry is gone into in minute detail.
Any thoughts?
