Main Article Theories about
Desmond's flashes 		Main Discussion
 Theories may be removed if ... 
  1. Stated as questions or possibilities (avoid question marks, "Maybe", "I think", etc).
  2. More appropriate for another article.
  3. Illogical or previously disproven.
  4. Proven by canon source, and moved to main article.
  5. Speculative and lacking any evidence to support arguments.
  6. Responding to another theory (use discussion page instead).
  • This does not include responses that can stand alone as its own theory.
  • Usage of an indented bullet does not imply the statement is a response.

See the Lostpedia theory policy for more details.

  • There are several possibilities that events we have already seen were the results of Desmond's flashes.
    • For example, the reason that Desmond was so confident that Jack did fix Sarah (during their first meeting in the stadium) was because he recalled their on-island conversation where Jack told him that he did, in fact, fix her.
    • Another possibility is that Penny is still looking for Desmond because of something that happened when Desmond had the Deja-Vu experience.
  • Desmond's "visions" are not glimpses of the future, they are dim memories of his past. Desmond is stuck in some kind of time loop, but doesn't remember his "previous" experiences until he approaches the same crucial event again, and something he sees triggers the deja-vu moment. In Desmond's case "deja vu" doesn't mean a "feeling" that events are repeating themselves -- they actually are! As Ms. Hawking explained, events must repeat themselves, and its Desmond's job to make sure they do.
  • Desmand will keep seing his flashes after Charlie's death.
  • All of Desmonds flashes are shown to him by his point of view. Maybe he's the reason those things happen, if he just stayed away Charlie might still be alive.
  • Desmond did not see Claire and Aaron getting on a helicopter in his flash. He just added that part so that Charlie would sacrifice himself, and Desmond will feel guilty about this in season 4.
