I think the significance of Juan's dream was to remind him and tell us about his child hood. Since his child hood was very tough and troublesome for him, he dreams of a major part of it because he shares the loneliness right now on this raft that he had many years ago after his father died. It tells of the hope and determination little kids have to see something through. For example when Juan was a kid he climbed that framboyan tree every day (on page 93 begining of paragraph three) to see if his fater was coming back, even after his mother said over and over again that he was dead. This characteristic is still prominent in Juan to this very moment while he is having this dream. He shows hope and determination from the moment he puts in back in Cuba through the hurricane, Rauls death, and Andres' death. Child hood is very important to everyone and is a good characteristic to put in in any book since anyone and everyone loves children. His childhood self cared for his father just as much as the wind every day when he would climb that tree which he now things are somehow mysteriously connected and will tell him something.
