I guess a mixture of theory 1 and 3?
It’s full of spoilers bellow about personal story, season 2 and HoT…and sorry for my English and complicated writing
[spoiler]Well according to what we learned in HoT that the mordrem are just clones from the corpses that Mordi could get his hands on…
It could be that the sylvari are the clones of Ronan and his family(and the other villagers that were murdered by the mursaat) cause Ronan planted the seed of the Pale tree in the exact same spot as the villagers/his family were buried. (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ronan) (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/The_Grove)
I mean it could be that the pale tree used the available corpses to produce dragon minions but thanks to the fact that Mordi hadn’t awakened yet the “minions” were nurtured by the Pale tree itself according to Ventari’s ideals thus making the Sylvari strongwilled(which later helped them resist Mordi’s call).Additionally as we see in the Sylvari personal story when “where life goes..” is chosen, Malyck resembles our Sylvari but he is not like them as he doesn’t have any connection with his tree. That could be simply the fact that his tree wasn’t educated to hold ideals and it is simply awaiting for its master to awake without interacting with its offspring. But the Pale tree in contrast to the other trees (thanks to Ventari’s teachings) cares about them and disseminates his teachings to them making them beings with a mind of their own (partially). [/spoiler]
So…I believe we should treat the Sylvari as a body of souls and thoughts(—->the dream) with the Pale tree acting as its caretaker
They might not have individual souls but fragments of souls(the villagers’ maybe idk) which grow larger as they experience more of the world and when they die the fragments simply return.
It could be that the Pale tree is reaching out a “hand”(lending a fragment but without losing connection with it) when a sylvari is born which allows the tree to explore the world and gain exp and when the sylvari dies the “hand”/fragment simply loses it’s vessel and returns to occupy a new one(like the reincarnation cycle).
Well I’m not a lore expert so I will appreciate it if my mistakes are pointed out (^-^)
