Living Inside the Dream (Twin Peaks re-examined)

Featuring John Thorne and Tamler Sommers. These guys are solid gold: synergistic in agreement and disagreement. After answering some excellent questions about his own "Ominous Whoosh" theories, John adds to Tamler's hypothesis in-progress. This was a thrilling discussion for me! Highlights (and don't miss the book preview at the end) include:
1:29 - Books that’d be cool to write
7:36 - The reality of Las Vegas in Twin Peaks: The Return
9:44 - The reality of Dougie (pre- and post-Cooper)
14:20 - Twin Peaks as a mediated narrative (Cooper’s “dream”?)
18:33 - So what IS happening in Vegas? (and how)
24:50 - Psychology and POV (in Twin Peaks and Mulholland Dr.)
30:22 - Dream theories, when yes when no?
42:12 - What does 'dream logic' mean?
43:20 - The beauty of the "Laura is the one" phrase
49:44 - Cosmic chess match or personal story (it's a Frost-Lynch production!)
56:29 - Dale Cooper: crosser of thresholds
1:01:40 - David Lynch's clues for unlocking Mulholland Drive
1:07:31 - Previewing John's new book on Mulholland Drive
1:21:05 - Appreciating good feedback & conversation

Cooper is Dostoevsky’s Underground Man, split in Twain like Ellison’s Invisible Man. What is happening is the birth of Consciousness from out of the sea of unconscious chaos, so that light can emerge from the darkness. The Hero must die to his mother so that his libido can be reborn in a form free of entropy. Free of unconscious wish projection. Free from the image itself! Born to completion as a center of being for itself, like the dreamer. Remembering having remembered having been in a fatal showdown with death, and re-birth. It’s the trauma of life that catches you like a hanged nail, even in the primordial darkness of sleep.
