I believe that Moreno had this dream because she was subconscious about her experience with the gunshot gave her an emotional reaction. To begin, Moreno states, “It was my first GSW and I was very much a rookie at the time, but even I could’ve told the cop to put his notebook away” (605). This quotation shows that when the police officer takes out his notebook to interview the patient. Moreno wished that she could have said something, but she didn’t say anything which she regrets. She thought that if she had said something that the patient wouldn’t have passed away. Next, Moreno notes, “Somebody loved him, I thought. His mother, his girlfriend, his brother, his friend. Somebody thought he was invincible. He thought he was invincible, clearly”
