I am sorry I caught this thread so late. It is likely ot slip off before you
read it.
His dreams are, I believe, from the Valar preparing him for his future sailing
to Valinor.
Valinor is not about the after life at all, as others have said. It is the
"undying lands as names by Men because only the those that don't die like the
elves, are allowed, with only a few very rare acceptions, like Frodo adn Bilbo
and later Gimli and perhaps Sam. It's not for mortals.
There is alot more but I won't get into it. I am giving a link below my footer
of an excellant discussion on Frodo sailing.
[and one or two from the first
age].

Aloha & Mahalo – What is The Aloha Spirit
Oscar.Com – Oscar.Org "Mightier than Estë is Nienna, sister of the Fëanturi; she dwells alone. She is acquainted with grief, and mourns for every wound that Arda suffered in the marring of Melkor. So great was her sorrow, as the Music unfolded that her song turned to lamentation long before its end, and the sound of mourning was woven into the themes of the World before it began. But she does not weep for herself; and those who hearken to her learn pity, and endurance in hope. . . . All those who wait in Mandos cry to her, for she brings strength to the spirit and turns sorrow to wisdom." Valaquenta
