Time travel and over thinking-ness

If you follow me on twitter you'll know that i sometime suffer from periods of little sleep and that when i do fall asleep I'm woken after next to no time by a weird dream.
Well last 2 nights are the start (and hopefully the end) of one such period.
Last night before dropping to sleep, i was think about time travel, not as in if or how you achieve it.
It was more along the trail of thought, that, if i accidentally or even intentionally achieve the feat of time travel and went back to a time i previously existed what would happen?.
The reason i ask this question is no one can tell em I'm wrong in what I'm about to say because no one knows.
but presuming the existence of a soul, my soul has always and will always occupied my living flesh and body right?
well in my logic and theory because my soul is in control of my body then i would also be able to control the body of the past me correct?
or is time less linear than we think and that your soul only control the body for an given instant? lets say for a heart beat then moves on?.
then say this is true and your soul controls the body for the instant that your in then that would mean another soul in the past you and thus you cannot control bot body's?
i have another over thought off shoot of this but i cannot think of a way to describe it
i heard this quote today

"This isn't good or bad. It's just the way of things. Nothing stays the same."

as humans even if we to the period of life that we were most happy with and it stayed like that forever, would we be able to handle it? i mean i sometime feel everything is too samey and stagnant, so even if it was the period of my life i was happiest with i think i would get bored a resent it, i agree with the statement about but i don't feel its a bad thing

sorry about this i don't write for ages then come out with crazy talk after months of silence
