So Winston had been wrong about O'Brian too. He had thought that he was on their side, and that he was nice. He had thought that he was in the Brotherhood, and that he was for Goldstein. But nope. He probably works for the Ministry of Love, he tried to put Winston in a rehab, to cure him from his insanity. He is for Big Brother, and every word he says about curing and Big brother, he believes. He took part of writing the book, Goldstein's book.
Also, I think that he is the one who came in Winston dreams. Winston might have perceived his messages as hope, because he would be safe, and there would be no darkness. But what O'Brian had probably meant by that is that they would often be in a place where there is literally no darkness, like in the cell, and that O'Brian will take care of Winston... by "curing" him of his "craziness". When O'Brian had asked Winston why the Party seeks power, he had answered that it was ruling for the people's own good, because they were incapable of ruling themselves. WRONG! The Party does not care about other people's good, they are only interested in power, and power only. He said that there was nothing before mankind. That if mankind would come to an end, there would be nothing. That fossils and dinosaur bones are pure invention. That stars are only bits of fire not far away. That the Earth is at the centre of the universe, with the sun an the stars revolving around it. That Oceania is the world. To make a point, O'Brian made Winston strip down. He told him to look at himself in the mirror.Winston saw himself, but it was not him. It was a monster. He had lost twenty five kilograms, he had started to grow bald, his hair was falling. he had eleven teeth left, and they were loose too, O'Brian easily plucked one out of his mouth. His skin was grey, and he had red wounds. His bones jagged out in his skin. He looked terrifying. O'Brian told Winston that if he was mankind, he was the last one of his race, and that he was slowly rotting and decomposing.
