I would assume it is a fever induced hallucination.  It's not uncommon especially for children to have this with a fever.
My brother used to talk about chocolate houses every time he had a fever.
My son tells me to watch out for things that aren't there when he has a fever.  
Treat the fever and if it gets above 103, be sure to get immediate medical attention.
Good Luck
