Just from my experiences with the metal gear franchise for the past 16 years of my life, it seems hard to believe Ishmael would be a real character. espescialy when you see hime teleport in seconds during the hallway shootup scene. really I believe you will not see any of those dream like figures to appear in real life. Kojima has always been particular about the atmosphere of the game when paranormal things happen. The whole game usualy takes a 90o turn to weird street, then usualy comes right back to snakes adventures.

If the body double theory is correct, I would think that in order to have the most realistic and believable big boss, the doctors would use psyco mantises powers to make that body double believe he really lived through naked snakes past. Therefore portraying the burning voligin, the boss on her horse etc...Also it would make sense to use psycho mantis to alternate ones mind due to the fact that nanomachines aren't implemented in the story at that point.
