"We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness." (25)
Significance
I feel that "darkness" is a metaphor in this statement. I think that darkness means "big brother". This is because Big Brother is seen as a figure that looms over everything, creating a dark shadow. So here, whomever is speaking this line (be it O'Brien or otherwise) is telling Winston that the only time they will be able to speak and confirm their secret loathing of Big Brother.
Question
Has Winston had these thoughts about his dreams before, or is the diary the only reason he is thinking about his past and dreams?
