Well remember that Maria herself is a creation of James's mind. That's supported by the fact that, if she was a real person, not one story point about her makes any sense at all (like, say, her getting killed repeatedly, and then turning into the final boss). So, it makes sense that she'd be seeing what James sees.
Also, note that Angela (and yes, I thought her "Lost" thing sounded very awkward too) doesn't see the same things James does. "They look like monsters to you?"
I'll say this though. Maria's scenario is very bizarre. She appears to be helping a figment of HER mind, and so how hazy is a figment of a figment? It's like she's so far into the mental realm she's touching the very edge of something. I better get Charles Dexter Ward in on this.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
