The Leather Duster time travel theory
wizard nelson:
i'd say it has less to do with time travel as it does residual self image. basically subconscious harry always wanted to be wearing a cool leather duster. when he plugs into the matrix he gets leather, cause its what he wants an likes. susan is just female and totally in love so she's smart enough to pick up on harrys subconscious hint drops harry himself is too stupid to outright tell her. psychoanalystize ;D shrunk?

Sounds dumbass even to my while I type...but I like like the symetry (sp.!)
Fallen Angels (Denarians) have shadows. Copies that have a life of their own.
Harry has a shadow (subconscious harry). Which can interact without his knowledge with other shadows
Harry part angel?

Okay, clearly *I'm* the dumbass. You were talking about your own theory. Carry on. --Priscilla
the neurovore of Zur-En-Aargh:
I like it a lot, if that helps any.
Also, I don't think it needs astral projection or Harry casting a shadow in his own mind; we see in GP that it's possible to touch people's dreams from the NN, the Nightmare does it. Time-travelling Harry in the NN contacting his past self's dreams would work for me, as past-Harry is fairly solidly unconscious in all those instances iirc. And as far as Lash seeing time-travelling Harry goes, that could fit under the heading of the things she says he won't understand until he dies.
Tami Seven:
I find this idea very interesting.
My suggestion is that IF Harry really is doing this, then maybe it's a form of Astral Projection. His physical body stays in place, but his soul/spirit makes a time travel trip back to speak with his younger self at various critical moments.
How? Well, GS showed how. When he was in his 'Coma' his soul traveled out like a ghost. Perhaps he learned that this was something he could do voluntarily, using magic. All he would need is a focus, a link back to his younger self, a kind of temporal Thaumaturgy.

darker thought, that is the source harry draws from to fuel his soulfire spells, each time he uses them he becomes a bit closer to ID Harry. Thus as corrupts the original intention of the soulfire (creation) it corrupts him to his darker ID. New hypothesis time!
Leave it to Harry to take something seemingly pure and taint it, just as he purified some taint earlier.
