On page 181 the second complete paragraph starts "He dreamed about the cattle
that night. It was a continuous dream that was not interupted even when she
reached out for him again and pulled him on top of her. He went on dreaming
while he moved inside her, and when he heard her whisper, he saw them scatter
over the crest of a round bare hill, running away from him, scattering out
around him like ripples in still water".

When Tayo is dreaming of the cattle it isn't until she whispers that he sees
them scatter. I think he was starting to feel whole again in real life and
then something small like a whisper happens and he feels like his mind just
scatters again. All of the pieces of his mind that he was starting to put
back together just scattering out like the cattle. I think his dream was a
signal to him that even though he felt like he was getting better, he wasn't
as close to being well as he wanted to think. Maybe just his minds way of
reminding him that he isn't completely healthy yet and that he should just
take it slow and heal.
