The passage suggests that the writer is trying to get inside Magdalena Jalandoni's mind and imagine what her dreams and aspirations might have been beyond just her prolific literary works. It shows an attempt to humanize and personalize Jalandoni by speculating about whether she saw herself as a queenly figure in Iloilo society or imagined being escorted by Jose Rizal, the national hero. This helps portray her as a multidimensional person rather than just the "reina of Hiligaynon literature" through highlighting possible private thoughts and fantasies she may have had.
