I mean, there's got to be some foreshadowing going on here, he talks about how- in his dream- he was leading a group of aldmeri battlemages into imperial territory, then he saw a great shadow, and heard a loud roar- he questions whether it was a dragon or not. His dream then switches to him performing a service for someone recently passed, which is exactly what he's doing when you first meet him, for that little girl.
He says he sees a stranger approach, whilst he is performing this service, just like how you (the dragonborn) would be when you were to first meet him. As he goes to look at the stranger, he sees the shadow, and hears a great roar once more, the same things that he dreamed of where he was leading the battlemages. Because we're the dragonbon, essentially a dragon in mortal form, i believe this dream was about US, the dragonborn.
More specifically, because he hears the same roar and sees the same shadow in each part of his dream, i believe this may almost certainly hint at the dragonborns involvement in an upcoming war/conflict with the thalmor, a conflict which will inevitably lead to death, something which Arkay, the god that he is priest of, is heavily linked with.
Basically, i believe that his dream is a vision delivered to him by Arkay, of an upcoming war/conflict in the very near future, a conflict that we, the dragonborn, will be at the forefront of. Whether this the second great war, is debateable.
I believe this almost certainly GUARANTEES something thalmor related for our dragonborn. ( as if there wasn't enough evidence to prove that already). Couldn't find anything else about this anywhere else, so thought i'd share
