No, that's not what the theory says. If you go faster than light, time (for you) travels in reverse. Over a short enough distance, if you travelled faster than the speed of light, you'd arrive at your destination before you left your source.

Since your perception of time is driven by the vector of your own time, what could time "for you" travel in reverse ever mean?

It might appear to you and an notional inertial observer that each of your times travels in reverse from the perspective of the other, but for the each of you your own time would always appear to travel in the forward direction at a unchanging speed.

For the same reason, A particle traveling above speed of light might arrive at another observer in a notional inertial reference frame prior to information about its cause. But relative to the particle itself, time always travel forward, and it's own cause always precedes any effect stemming from that cause, such as it being observed.
