Time Travel, of a kind

I've been considering writing a time travel story, beginning at the end, to help explain the oddities of this world. While from my perspective it seems the only way to reconcile certain events, I am now considering what if physical time travel wasn't required for where we've arrived?

Theory: What if it is the subconscious mind of women that primarily travels backward in time? I can assert this is plausible because even my subconscious mind picks up cues from the future at times. I primarily dream of the past however.

So the dream timeline specifically would be mainly inverted, with some sneaky sojourns through the gate, as well guarded and sealed as the two parties involved have deemed necessary. Part of my theory here is that we are each linked to one other, more than anyone else, a soulmate by my estimation. Somewhere in the subconscious connections in my mind, this has become linked with quantum mechanics, specifically with particle pairing.

I am uncertain of the end points, but one seems reasonable as puberty. It would be the first time in the waking world when an extra layer of reality is presented clearly by the subconscious mind. I don't think this is when the "walkie talkie" (as I have described this subconscious communication method elsewhere) is turned on, but rather when it is tuned in a way that makes the most sense from then on, which leads inexorably to "the dream" at some point in each timeline.  This dream is built up to by events and emotions experienced during the day, in which both parties see each other vividly for the first time.

While this model fits more logically than my first thought (that some people are physically traveling backwards in time in the current timeline). I'm still planning on writing the time traveling story in its original form, but with this framing/layering in mind it should make all the more sense, as fleshing out the realm of dreams would be akin to a fantasy adventure with your soulmate anyway (if you're on the right track, that is).
