3. In Locke's vision, he was a pilot, another popular analogy (God is my co-pilot bumper stickers, etc.)
4. He was the only one who came out of the implosion naked. A rebirth/resurrection?
I have two other "wacko" theories about Desmond. I don't really believe either of them. The first comes from me, and the second from a friend...
1. The electromagnetic field somehow cloned Desmond, which is why he was naked. Of course, this doesn't explain how he knew about Locke's speech.
2. No one except Hurley was seen interacting or even noticing Desmond. Was he even really there, or was he a vision like Dave? Wouldn't someone have offered him some pants? Again, this doesn't explain how Hurley would have predicted Locke's speech.

i have seen that rebirth theory elsewhere, i think it is very interesting. sort of reminds me of lord of the flies, where simon is a representation of jesus. could be similar for desmond, but im not sure i buy it yet.
