One slight criticism I have about Audrey's scene is she is looking into a mirror while asking "Where am I?" Surely, if you want to know where you are, you look around you, not look at your own face in a mirror? Isn't it a bit like looking at your foot while asking "What time is it?" rather than actually looking at your watch? Or looking up at the ceiling and asking "Where are my shoes?"

What's to say she isn't looking around the space to some extent in the mirror? For someone dancing at a club one moment and the next looking into a mirror in an entirely different place, exclaiming "Where am I?!" strikes me as a natural reaction. She was asking herself the question, so why shouldn't she be looking at her own face (which I assume she hasn't done in a long time)? People also do not act so rationally in a state of shock.

I read it as less a literal 'Where am I?' more a metaphorical 'where am I?'. As in, where is my mind? Who am I? What does this mean?

She never says 'where am I'

Agreed ... she says "what?" A couple of time mixed with some gasps.  The thing I found interesting is she seemed to be upright (standing/sitting?) when we see the scene, so definitely not lying down and snapping out of it like we saw Coop do.

At least she wasn't talking to and fighting with her own foot.

I'm not going to quarrel with the logic of what she said or didn't.

However, I have to say that this briefest of scenes was the only thing that in any way slightly disappointed me with this wonderful episode. For me explicitly showing that the previous Audrey scenes (both the conversations at "home" with Charlie and the marvellous dancing sequence in the pink-lit Roadhouse, which we know has beyond-reality associations) weren't "real" was just unnecessary and took away some of the mystery.

However, it ain't over till it's over so I'm crossing my fingers for another twist on Audrey in the finale.

Yes, she says "What?  Wha... what?" (just finished re-watching the episode, btw!)

I'm hoping for a twist as well.  I think she could easily be held captive by Laura or the White Lodge folks given the pure white background.  Now that'd be a memorable twist on our assumptions. 

It makes good sense that the Black Lodge forces are behind it, but that's so predictable that even I had that thought.

I am actually thinking she is in a sanitarium and perhaps has been in a walking coma. the white lodge is where the fireman sits and andy visited in 15. that is the exact entrance Briggs found in the original series to the white lodge.
Diane was clearly mentally unhinged, doppelganger or not, so perhaps Audrey has been out of sorts since.

Actually, that is the first Audrey scene in which I recognised her as herself. Not much to go on, but she seemed real. As much as I have enjoyed her other scenes, they all have an element of the macabre in them.

That whole shocking scene of showing Audrey waking up and looking in a mirror was imho a direct reference to Through a Looking Glass... which basically is a metaphor for being in a strange parallel world.  This is what directors like Lynch do.....

This was another powerful Twin Peaks mirror scene, I think we need to line up all the screen caps and admire them together.
