Winston seems to know that he is going to follow the summons, wishes, and expectations of O'Brien. He has been waiting for the day when O'Brien would send him a message of some sort. This was predestined by the dream Winston had in the beginning of the book. Winston describes his procession as a rebel, first as a secretive thought, then writing in his diary, but now he says he will go through with an act, because his words will now be actions. The foreshadowing that is taking place is that there is something happening with O'Brien, he is the link to something important. We don't know if that is good or bad, but he is an essential and important character in the book. I also think that Winston knows he is going to die, he thinks that if he is going to commit these acts against the party, especially since he knows that since O'Brien has contacted him he will do something more drastic against the Party, he knows he will eventually get caught. I think O'Brien is really mysterious, I don't really understand him or his intentions. He could trick Winsotn by gaining his trust, I wouldn't be surprised if he is an infiltrator or something trying to get Winston imprisoned or killed.
