Answer:

She is talking about a dream she had.

Explanation:

In this excerpt, Penelope relates a dream she had. The dream involves twenty geese she owns that are suddenly killed by an eagle. In the dream, Penelope knows that the eagle is meant to be Odysseus, while the geese are meant to be her suitors. She is aware of the fact that the dream implies Odysseus will return. She is doubtful, however. What Penelope does not know is that Odysseus is in fact back, but he is dressed as a beggar.
