Man it's been forever since I read KHR, so some details might be a bit off. Oh, and incoherency.

1) His default dream is of a park-like area, with cherryblossoms in bloom. It's perhaps a little private joke for any visitors who walk into his dream. The default dream is supposed to be a subconscious representation of the base thoughts of the creator, but Mukuro shapes his dreams as he sees fit. While the cherry blossoms are a symbol for the fleeting nature of life (that we only live once, briefly), Mukuro believes the opposite, that (human) life is a neverending cycle.

2) He hates the Realm of Humans, because he's lived the other Realms, but it's the Realm of Humans that people will be reborn and reborn into again and again. It's the fact that humans are unquestionably trapped in this Realm, even as they pretend to trap others, it's ugly and hypocritical and neverending, and he wants to destroy it and break the cycle.

3) He may be human, but doesn't consider himself a part of humanity. He tries to surpass, no, break the human trappings, which is partly why he so readily takes to wearing the skins of others. He is excellent at illusions, because he sees the 'truth', where humans only see lies. In a sense, all of his abilities are an attempt to break the restrictions of being human.

4) In regards to his couch bitches + Lancia + Chrome, they are simply tools he (lovingly) fashioned. They don't share his vision, and in all honesty, he would walk his path regardless of whether they followed or not. But while Ken and Chikusa's loyalty had been, initially, unintended, Lancia and Chrome's loyalty were experiments, and things he wrung from them. He has attachment to them in the sense that they are his, but not in the way that they are 'his people'.

5) He really liked that couch.
