What is the meaning of this Bastion level (spoilers)

Question

The Sole Regret is the level where the boy finds his shield, and his first stone statue.

One of the levels (inside Jawson Bog I believe) is a copy of that level, with a different narrative. Instead of the good guy, the kid is portrayed as a burglar and a thief. I don't remember the wording exactly, but instead of The Security takes him for a petty thief, the narrative makes it obvious that he is a true thief.

What is meaning of this alternate level?

I thought that its meaning was that perhaps the kid is the calamity itself, through his voyage of destruction throughout the world ... but after this tiny level, I never found any other supporting evidence. Perhaps this happened in an alternate timeline somehow?

Answer

The Kid passes out from the Bog's noxious gases and is hallucinating. As far as I can tell, that's all there is to it.

It's not so much an alternate timeline as a trippy fever nightmare.
