I think the significance of Jaun Cabrera's dream is his mind's preperation for death. He is confident in the fact that he is going to die alone in the ocean, he just isn't sure when. it says on page 92 "He was not sad about death and he was not frightened." At this point in the story Juan is ready for death, in fact, he thinks that it has already begun. Jaun's father was killed when Juan was just a young boy. in his dream he goes back to the fields of sugarcane where he used to wait for his father to return home. I think this is this mind preparing him for death. he is imagining meeting with his father in the fields of his childhood.
