Gonna have to agree with the others. I doubt theres clones or anything like that in the suit. The best suggestion is technocyte virus. A synthetic-organic virus, manipulated to operate these hollow suits. Not clones, but essentially the muscles and sensory input that would be required to effectively operate these machines. Instead of mechanical parts, like servos, the manipulated virus would be able to repair itself through self-replication. But since its also a partially organic substance, it stands to reason that the growth would bleed when injured, like the infested, and would require oxygen. Oxygen might be used as a catalyst for energy conversion, much like how our muscles need oxygen and fuel to operate. But once the frame is critcally damaged, its possible that the growth would decay. Also possible that the dream state they're in is so vivid, due to their connection to their frames, they don't know its a dream. Which is basically the whole point of the quest, to tell you it is. This virtual reality/dreaming was designed this way, I think, purposefully by the Orokin to make the Tenno subserviant. As for the Operator being saved by the frame, I'd put that down to him transfering his own power to the frame by sheer force of will and desperation to save himself, since he is too physically weak to do it himself. I'm also assuming it is a stasis pod you were in, meaning you haven't aged since you were a young adult. When you're a bit older, who knows? Maybe you will directly take the armour.
