Dream/Hallucinations of Gustave
The first dream about the tropical climate and jungle parallels the much later description of the Ganges Delta where the cholera originates. Thus it foreshadows the origins of von Ashenbach's death.
I am not as certain about how to interpret the strangergod dream, but one posssible explanation is that is a pagan ritual designed to keep the devil at bay - von Ashenbach subconsciously trying to avoid an inevitable death.
