Underneath the dialogue spoken by Mark Hamill's Luke, there are three key quotes that it's pretty easy to miss first time around, and each tie into one of the three things that Rey sees: Light, Darkness, Balance.

Around the time of 'Light', we have Leia appear on-screen, and hearing her hologram from A New Hope: "Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi."

With Darkness we see Kylo's mask, and as well as Vader's breathing we hear Obi-Wan saying: "Seduced by the Dark Side," a line he says about Vader in both A New Hope and Return of the Jedi (though in the latter, he starts it with "Your father...").

Finally, with Balance and the symbol of the Jedi Order, we have Yoda: "It surrounds us, it binds us." Here he's talking about the Force, and its power in the universe.

It's interesting that two of them feature Obi-Wan, given the theories of Rey's parentage, but it's the Yoda one that has the most importance: it ties into the Force being something bigger than Light and Dark.
