"It had all occurred inside the glass paperweight, but the surface of the glass was the dome of the sky, and inside the dome everything was flooded with the clear soft light in which one could see into the interminable distances." I think this dream was revealing how after Winston and Julia get caught, people will then start thinking about the world they're living in and the government that's controlling them and they'll rebell against it and after a big group gathers up to fight for their rights, they'll beat the Party and that's when that "clear soft light" will appear, meaning everyone will for once gain peace and freedom.
Winston and Julia are aware of the concequences that their actions will bring. They know that eventually they'll get caught, even if he confesses or not she'll get shot and he'll get tortured. But the only thing Winston holds on to is loyalty between them. Eventhough he knows that won't do much and at the end it won't change their destiny, he still holds on to that hope that she'll never betray him.
Winston says that no matter what his feelings for her will always exist no matter what the Party does to him because they both agreed that there's no way they could get inside you and they can make you say anything but they can't make you believe it.
