Can anyone comment on the significance on Bromden's dream near the start of the novel? Like what does this potray about his state of mind, what does this say about the asylum etc. Thanks, much appreciated.

I read this book in High School, many many years ago.
Your question is very good and I want to answer it, but I think I'll need to reread this fine book first.

I studied this book and wrote a paper on Bromden's "dream state." Throughout the book, one of the most interesting occurences is how Bromden gradually recovers his sanity. In the beginning, he see things that aren't there and is paranoid about everything in his environment (though he has some reason for this paranoia). By the end of the book, Bromden speaks and is able to interact with the world and is ready to face the Combine outside of the mental institution. McMurphy has made Bromden "big" again.

Bromden sees that there is a force which is destroying men & women in society. All society want is robotic citizens. Those that do not conform are either institutionalised or destroyed.
This is pretty much the theme of "Cuckoo's Nest."
