I was just stating my opinion on Ikuhara's intention with all the ambiguity going on.
Well, I'm fine with some ambiguity. At a practical level, how I'll respond to that is try to interpret the surreal scenes the way that works best for me.

If Ikuhara has some surreal scenes in there just because they seem cool to him, that's fine. But I still am inclined to try to pick some sense out of it, insofar as the characters take it seriously at least.

Edit: For Utena turning into a car, I'd lean towards that being theater of the mind stuff for her and Anthy. It's also sexually suggestive to be sure.
