I think this is the only "explanation" we get:

      Literal Translation Series, "Neon Genesis Evangelion: Episode 23"
      Written by Kentaro ONIZUKA, Edited by Matthew Opel

Shinji:         This looks just like Ayanami's room.

Ritsuko:        Ayanami Rei's room.
                This is the place where she was born.

Shinji:         In this room?

Ritsuko:        Yes. Her birth place.
                Light and Water, which make up Rei's deep mentality,
                reflect the image of this place.

Misato:         Dr. Akagi, I did not come to see this.

Ritsuko:        I know. Misato.

(And btw, where can I get a better translation of the series?)
