I am also leaning towards her being trapped in some otherworldly place. Mainly because of the sound of electricity that surrounds Audrey in that scene.
I dont think ALL of the scenes are fake. I think they are dispersed and that is the red herring. you dont know WHICH are fake.
Agreed. But I think this calls into question both the viability and the importance of the audience distinguishing "real" events from so-called "fake" ones.
I am wondering if the bar fight was started by Bobby Briggs, and he was fighting Red...since time doesn't seem to flow in straight lines it's possible this confrontation happened even prior to Shelly, Bobby and Becky in the Double-R.
Good thinking. This!
Maybe the bar fight was reminiscent of the bar fight Bobby & Mike had with James and bikers those 25 years ago.
I don't think everything's a tulpa. But I think we might see a few more exposed before the end.

Except the guy who starts the fight calls out the name "Monique" I don't think "Shelly" is short for Monique 😛
To me this makes less sense than Audrey being in an institution dreaming/hallucinating the Roadhouse scene. If there's a tulpa/duplicate Audrey out in the world leading a seemingly normal life, I feel like she would've been part of the conversation when her son Richard was out wreaking havoc. Someone would have suggested contacting his mother. Since she wasn't even mentioned, it suggests everyone knows she's out of the picture.
...But if she'd disappeared mysteriously, like Cooper did 25 years ago, that would've been mentioned too. It would certainly be a sensational mystery in the town of Twin Peaks.
No, I think the fact that no one really talks about her in connection with her demon son suggests they all know where she is but she's in no position to help. That could mean a mental institution or possibly that she never woke up from her bank-bombing coma - but the coma seems less likely for a couple of small reasons. (Doc Hayward says Audrey WAS in a coma, not that she still is. Ben Horne says Richard never had a father, not that he also never had a mother.) So, my money's still on something like a mental institution.
...Although I guess it's possible there's a tulpa-Audrey in a mental institution while real-Audrey is trapped in the lodge, and neither of them was actually in the Roadhouse. (But who is the dreamer???) How's that for mind-bending?
I'm leaning toward a Tulpa, by going on what the description Diane said, and the similarities inolving Coop.
The missng piece is we haven't seen what happens when someone is taken above the convince store. . .
This could also be why Cole was shown the convience store in the vortex as a clue that Diane wasn't "real"
I think it's interesting that when Audrey desperately looks Charlie in the face to say "get me out of here" - in the split second the scene changes over, the mirror is in the same position as Charlie's face, and of course, Audrey is looking at her reflection.
Does this mean that Charlie is actually another manifestation of Audrey's personality? I had been thinking all along that Charlie might turn out to be be her therapist (a la the silent film classic The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari) but the position of his face with regard to her mirror image is pretty much aligned...
