There are a lot of complex metaphors to Lynch's work that play out as surrealism/dream logic, but it often takes multiple viewings to unpack. When it comes to questions like "is it really just spirits?" I believe Mark Frost leans towards making those things explicit and literal, whereas Lynch is interested in exploring serious themes through metaphor. I think when David Lynch's subject matter starts to get too intense for him, he shifts into dream logic and symbolic imagery.

Finished this week's episodes of Twin Peaks on Paramount+, then turned on Star Trek TNG ('Who Watches the Watchers?') and lo and behold, there's Leland Palmer as an alien! π€― Fun coincidence π
