In Part One,
Chapter Two,talks about a dream he had in which he met within a dark room. Symbolically, this
dream is an expression of Winston's desire to rebel against the Party. By imagining this
connection with O'Brien, the dream provides Winston with an impetus for rebellion, convincing
him that if he rebels, he will find like-minded individuals who can support him.
On a more practical level, this dream also foreshadows Winston's meeting with O'Brien
in which he becomes a member of the Brotherhood, as well as his eventual torture by O'Brien in
the Ministry of Love.
In the next chapter, Winston dreams about his mother
sacrificing her life so that he might live. This dream is significant because it symbolizes
Winston's desire to return to an older way of life in which people have personal loyalties and
close connections to those around them, not only to the Party.
Finally, the
dream about the girl with dark hair is not only symbolic of Winston's sexual oppression but
also...
