I find it an odd ommision that a discussion of Rei's "bookend" appearances would fail to include this paragraph from the Rebuild/Platinum booklet episode 01 commentary, since it is the only 'official' statement I'm aware of on the topic:
''When Shinji comes to New Tokyo-3, he sees a girl that seems to be Rei Ayanami for just an instant. Considering how she is injured and wrapped up in bandages, when he later meets her in NERV Headquarters, the natural assumption would be to think that this was a phantom vision. But in Episode 26, "My True Heart For You," a different possibility is suggested. The girl that appeared for just one cut in this scene may be the Rei Ayanami who is "the existence that gazes upon man."''
I'm not exactly sure what that's supposed to mean, but it does, at least, discount the idea that "Bookend Rei" is some sort of hallucination.
(I assume a short exerpt like that comes under fair use)
