I think I'm going to take all the parts where she has Ortus confirm things for her and thinks she hears voices as a child and etc as part of the brain surgery making a ruse for her to cover Gideon

I think that's right! And when she sees Gideon the First her brain keeps shorting that out, too. I really liked that, it was a nice clue.

but I'm going to take the part about her hallucinating the body as real from the time she broke in the tomb.

Which means poor Harrow has been living with The Body since she was a TINY CHILD. OMFG poor Harrow. (I over-identify with Harrow so much, lol.) And I think the Sleeper is also in her head? The whole thing with the sword, and then when the sword goes into Cytherea the First's body that's how Sleeper/Wake gets out. Plus Gideon in her head. Harrow is super-haunted.
