(urth) Inhumi in the Whorl

Yes, what do Neighbors and sentient inhumi look like during soul travel? 
Honestly, I think the Neighbors that the resurrected HORN encountered 
were in astral form. There's a spectral feel to that meeting. But, since 
Wolfe has toyed with every possible metamorphosis of the human soul in 
these 7 volumes, I'm surprised Wolfe didn't toy with what would happen 
if a wild inhumi fed on a dream-traveler.
