'It must have been a dream…'

"Junior, how are you feeling right now?"

Smoke Demon… whoops, Mai Houjou was in front of him.

"I had a really long and strange dream, and I still feel like I’m in a daze," Seiji replied.

"That wasn’t a dream; you entered the Spirit Realm while Visualizing, which is the best state you can possibly achieve during Visualization," Mai explained.

"'Spirit Realm?'"

"It means that you Visualized wholeheartedly enough to enter an entirely different mental realm."

"Then, what I experienced there… Is everything in the Spirit Realm the product of a dream?"

"Yes, that's one way of putting it. What each person sees in their individual Spirit Realm is unique. Some will witness old memories, and others will experience a modern-day situation. However, a fantastical or chaotic sequence of events is more common, much like a real dream."

It was similar to a dream, yet it wasn’t a dream.
