Anyone noticed Diane saying she wasn't herself before going mad ? Like Audrey told Charlie !.... Could Audrey be a Tulpa ? Sorry if it's on another thread....
I still stick to the theory that Audrey has suffered from dissociative identity disorder, maybe caused by bad Cooper a long ago. A person named Tina has been occupying Audrey's body, and Audrey herself has been hiding in a dream. Finally Audrey had courage, and danced her way out of the dream, and replaces the "Tina" identity.
I really think this is the last we may see of Audrey...that Lynch will not resolve it for us.
From a moral point of view I think he needs to have her confront Cooper about the rape--at least to learn/acknowledge it wasn't "him."
So glad I got to see Audrey's Dance once more!
Me too. I also love the way it was presented, with the crowd stepping aside as if the dance was what they'd been waiting for.
The whole scene seemed like some lucid dreaming/hypnosis/therapy session to me.
Could Audrey simply be treated for agoraphobia, ptsd (Mr.C) or something like that? Not in a ward, not in a coma, not in a lodge, with the Roadhouse being generally real but not in the Audrey-related scenes? Is that far fetched?
Haven't read this entire thread so apologies if this has been mentioned...
The music and the musicians were in reverse after Audrey's reveal, so it's a good bet she's nowhere nice.
I noticed that too. Not good.

Yeah, that's been noted in multiple threads which are all circling the Audrey dilemma. I was particularly freaked out with the guy on the traps watching him go backwards, what with the Lynchy lighting. Thought the orchestra looked a bit ghoulish. Chills.
To repeat myself, it's almost possible to casually not notice the reverse at all. The song is so fluid it's not that different going in either direction.
Audrey clearly has a lodge problem. I think we can ditch all the other theories now.
It's about the lodge. I think the same thing happened to everyone, via Bob, Bad Coop, lodge entities that had the power. For some reason, they hover over Twin Peaks like Vultures. Briggs was sent there to find out why or how, and I think he did.
One crazy idea I've been playing around with is that Audrey is being held by dark forces in a place were they are purely using her induced dream state to produce garmonbozia. Maybe a similar concept to the Matrix stories. They have setup a dimensional site were they strap people to a funky table and induce a dream level coma. They then introduce elements in the dream to anger, sadden, or scare the subject. There own little meat bags. Hell, let's get even crazier, they have them all over and are almost restaurants for the woodsmen. Dirty evil woodsmen got to eat too!
I think it's layers of consciousness, she's escaped the house, to get to the roadhouse, and that's her digging herself upwards towards the light. But there are layers. She's one step closer to waking, but she still doesn't recognize herself.
Read a couple interesting ideas elsewhere, both related to Audrey being trapped in wood, like Josie.
The first idea has Audrey trapped in a table at the Roadhouse since all the conversations at the table apparently relate to her or an imagined her.
Second idea is Audrey is trapped in wood at the Old Northern, thus the interdimensional humming in the basement. That answer is less satisfying since it would make the Roadhouse scenes less meaningful.

Yeah, I don't think we see Audrey again. That close-up scene of Audrey in the mirror is it. With all the references of Audrey to Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard, the final clue is when Norma says "I'm ready for my close-up"... which just happens to be the last line in the movie.
I have enjoyed all the Audrey theories - my favoured one was that she and Charlie were rehearsing some kind of performance, but now that we seem to have have confirmation that we were in some sense inside her head, I think the explanation will be surprisingly prosaic. Audrey doesn't strike me as the going mad type. I think we know she awoke from her post-explosion coma long ago, and while I accept that anyone can be a tulpa these days, I am tending to the view that it is most likely we have just been experiencing Audrey's perfectly 'normal' dream, and looking in the mirror was simply Audrey's early morning look - maybe in hospital, maybe not. Let's face it we are all capable of having strange dreams.
I'm still in the process of rewatching the original series, and FWWM. I know there are other thing I'd need to look at, like The Secret History, but I won't have time to order them before Sunday 😉
My idea about Audrey is that since she was so in love with Coop, and that love is the key to the White Lodge, maybe that's where she's trapped? The last scene showed her in a white room.
That's why I'm rewatching everything, can't remember how much Audrey was in love with Cooper...

She certainly lusted after him, but they didn't have enough of a relationship for her to truly love him. She seemed to be "in love" with Wheeler by the end of the series. It was all teenage stuff. If that is the only love Audrey has experienced in the last 25 years, I feel sorry for her.
Even after spending time with Audrey, Cooper said that one wish was to make love with a woman that he truly loved (cared about, or some such). That suggests Audrey was not "the one."
Wow, I had to lookup "Wheeler". I didn't remember Billy Zane being in TP at all!
I really have to re-watch the whole series...
