Why does Claire contradict everyone else? Whys Aaron so different?

[esn]

Ok Johns been telling 4 of the O6 to go back, so did Charlie to Hurley and Ben said they all had to go back - including a dead John

But whys Claire appearing to Kate in a dream and telling her not to take Aarron back? I mean she did seem rather forceful.

Could it be that the rest are red herrings and Claire is the one to listen too? Or is there an enemy of the island at work here and making Claire appear to Kate? Because thats all I got at the moment

I think that this was possibly a sign that claire isn't dead because apart from locke, all who have appeared are dead, so that could be the Smoke monster or Jacob or whatever. But seen as Claire is telling Kate not to bring Aaron back, I'm thinking she's doing something to contact Kate, (let's not forget she's had visions before so it is kinda possible... Perhaps she's doing something similair to walts projection thing, as it has been suggested she's 'special.')

Hope that makes some sense I know my grammar is really crap tonight, but i'm tired so....

Yeah I agree with ILWL, I don't think she's dead I think she's just doing a 'Walt'. Although the simple answer could be that she doesn't want to put Aaron in danger, after all she might have left him behind but she still doesn't want to see him get hurt. Maybe she was going behind Christian's/Jacob's/Whoever's back to tell Kate that?

Maybe Claire is the one who did the thing that made it turn bad?? I can't think what at the moment but perhaps she doesn't want Aaron knowing that she caused the bad things to happen after they left.
I do feel that Claire would worry about what people thought of her too. Most of the others think that they are right so to hell with the consequences, but to be fair I can't think of Claire doing anything to intentionally or unintentionally hurt anyone, she even forgave Charlie after the heroin thing, so I think that she would be hurt knowing that she's responsible for any harm coming to anyone else.

Maybe there is nothing major in it, maybe its just her being motherly and she is just looking out for her son, trying to do what is best for him and she thinks he would have a better life off the island, but having said that, i think there is something more to it maybe she knows what will happen if they go back and she doenst want Aaron getting hurt.

I absolutely despised the way she yelled at Kate. She leaves her Son in the middle of the jungle in danger of being killed by boars or getting hurt and has the nerve to yell at Kate who did her utmost to save Aaron and raise him.

But I agree these "visions/visits" could be red herrings and/or there are TWO forces at work here. It is definitely tricky trying to work it all out.
