Okay so David was set back from 1986 to 1978 and assuming he returned to the woods just minutes after he was originally abducted, does that mean the 20 year old version of Dave will see his 12 year old self from the first visit to 1986 or was Dave sent back minutes before he was abducted and now there are two Daves walking around in 1978 and the other Dave from the beginning of the film was either abducted or still looking for his brother while the present Dave is on that boat with his family.

He called you a dkhead.
Don't take it too seriously. Time travel is just fantasy so you can make up any rules you want. It's just a movie.

Do you subscribe to any of these theories?

1. You can not return to a moment in time where you left
2. Seeing yourself would make you go mad
3. There can not be two of you living in the same universe so it would be impossible for David to come back to his original timeline

No. By travelling back to 1978, the past has been re-written.
