I think that Juan's dream holds the same significance that the phrase " seeing your life flash before your eyes" holds. Juan thinks he is going to die. That may be a blunt way of putting it, but it is a fact. Getting stranded in the middle of the ocean on an inner tube will do that to you.He has a little hope, but he is sure that it is the end. So he is preparing himself for it. His father is dead, and he is dreaming about meeting him. So his subconscious must think that he will see him soon. Not to mention the fact that the book says, and I quote: "Juan knew this was a childhood dream" Page ninety-three line six. It is my opinion that this line further proves my point. Real life is full of triumphs and tragedies and this book is a prime example of this.
