Have a link to this theory? Because I would love to see them explain that. Have you given the new trailers a watch? I personally don't believe Skull Face is a hallucination but the trailers do give creedence to the theory!

1. Firstly the tape in the bathroom that Big Boss listens to is "The Man who sold the World" by Bowie, if you listen to the lyrics it talks of ghosts of the past or how the person believes he is the same person but finds out that he isn't, another way to look at the lyrics is that it is hallucinations.

2.  Big Boss seems to be the only person in the trailer to directly look at Skull Face, nobody else notices him. (Theres a hole in theory as we have a recording of Ocelot talking about Skull Faces background.

3. The Trailer makes has many images of Big Boss and Skull Face being mirror images of one another.

4. There is the scene where Skull Face appears as if out of thin air behind BB, and nobody bats an eyelid, or even aknowledges him except BB.

5. Finally the last scene where BB cannot bear to see his reflection in the mirror and breaks it seem to be a subtle metaphor from Kojima.

Again I don't really know what to believe but it does seem a better theory than some we have seen such as Ocelot is Skull Face or that its Zero
