Sephiroth's Dreamscape is....a bit different from last time. The first section is still the lab/library underneath the ShinRa Mansion in Nibelheim.
The books in the library represent Sephiroth's memories. Unlike before, these are actual areas, and some things in the memories can be interacted with. The monsters, for example. Books that represent individual people Sephiroth knows act as portals to those people's Dreamscapes, if they are asleep. The monsters in Sephiroth's memories of missions are nasty, but it gets worse.
The wooden doorway that in reality leads to the basement tunnel of the Mansion has been replaced by the metal doorway of the Nibelheim Reactor. Behind it is Jenova; this is as close to the real deal as it gets, her actual presence in Sephiroth's mind. She can be fought and hurt, but not destroyed for good.
And she has a bodyguard. The less real but still quite capable of hurting you memory of crazy!Sephiroth, who will absolutely fight to protect his Mother.

Optional bosses in Square games are harsh, guys.
