When Juan is dreaming about flying over the field, I believe it symbolizes the freedom. I also believe it has to deal with some thing about the fact that his father was taken away when Juan was a little boy. Considering the fact that Juan climbed the tree and waited for his dad to come home shows his devotion to his father. Even after his mother had told him that his father was dead, Juan kept on climbing the tree and looking for him. This devotion is also show in Juan's urge for freedom. Even though his friend was shot down by the guards, and even tough Raul was torn up by a shark he still goes on. He might not have such a positive look at the situation, but he is still lucky to still be alive after what he has been through.
