his dream as follows:
It was a vast, luminous dream in
which his whole life seemed to stretch out before him like a landscape on a summer evening after

Winston's life. We know that it symbolizes to Winston the room above Mr. Charrington's shop,
because Winston tell us this. Now, his dream leads him...
