I'm reading The Premature Burial by Edgar Allan Poe. But I'm not quite sure what the significance of his dream is. I have picked up that it is about death though. The question they gave me: "The narrator describes one of his dreams. What happens and what is the significance? "

This is the section it's from: "I have no name in the regions which I inhabit," replied the voice, mournfully; "You feel that I shudder.—My teeth chatter as I speak, yet it is not with the chilliness of the night—of the night without end. But this hideousness is insufferable. How can you tranquilly sleep? I cannot rest for the cry of these great agonies. These sights are more than I can bear. Get up! Come with me into the outer Night, and let me unfold to you the graves. Is not this a spectacle of woe?—Behold!"

I looked; and the unseen figure, which still grasped me by the wrist, had caused to be thrown open the graves of all mankind, and from each issued the faint radiance of decay, so that I could see into the innermost recesses, and there view the shrouded bodies in their sad and solemn slumbers with the worm. But alas! From out the depths of the countless pits there came a melancholy rustling from the garments of the buried. And of those who seemed tranquilly to repose, I saw that a vast number had changed the rigid and uneasy position in which they had originally been entombed.
