The Mugen Train was riding down the rails and on its path with the demon standing on top of the engine

"Mugen"

Demon: To be able to die while dreaming... Just how lucky are you? It doesn't matter how powerful a Demon Slayer you are. A human's driving force is the heart, the spirit!

His hand crawled back to him and reattached to his arm and he motioned his arms and grabbed his neck

"Dream"

Demon: All you have to do is destroy the spiritual core. You can kill them just like that! All human hearts are the same. So fragile and weak, like glasswork.

With the group they were in a deep sleep with ropes tied to other people

Demon: You're falling...

Tanjiro was quietly crying 

Demon: You're falling... Into a dream.

Inside his dream he had a basket on his back ready to get some more charcoal then he was hugged by his one of his brothers and the family started to laugh then the demon smiled

Demon: Its a deep slumber. They can... No longer awaken.

"Lower One"

In the cart everyone was asleep with no signs to wake up anytime soon Zenitsu was falling in an ocean of endless water as it fades to his dream where he and Nezuko are running through a forest of peach trees

Zenitsu: This way! The peaches over here taste great! And there are tons of white clovers in bloom! I'll make you a chaplet! I can make these really great looking ones... Nezuko!

He looked back to see Nezuko without her bamboo gag

Nezuko: Yes! Make me a lot, okay... Zenitsu?

He couldn't help but stare at the beautiful Nezuko Kamado and he jumped in the air cheering 

Zenitsu: There's a river along the way, but its shallow, so you'll be okay, right?

Her happy expression quickly disappeared at the mention of a river and she stopped

Nezuko: What am I gonna do, Zenitsu? I cant swim.

He quickly calmed her and told her the plan

Zenitsu: I-I'll just carry you on my back and jump right over the river! Not even your toes will get wet, Nezuko!

He crouched down and Nezuko climbed onto his back as he dashed forward and jumped over the river

Zenitsu: Just leave it to me! Lets go! 

They were laughing as it went back to him falling in the water not to far away was Inosuke then we see into his dream where he and a Nezuko with bunny ears were marching down a cave

Inosuke: Expedition Team! Expedition Team! We're the Cave Expedition Team! Expedition Team! Expedition Team! We're the Cave Expedition Team! Expedition Team! Expedition Team!

Suddenly three people zipped onto the rocks behind them

Tanjiro?: Boss!

Zenitsu?: Boss!

Zane?: Boss!

The two looked back

Inosuke: What's up, Underling's 1,2, and 3?

Tanjiro had what looked like racoon ears and tail with odd whiskers 

Ponjiro: I can smell the monster of this cave over there, pompoko!
