Around the dinner table, the conversation was lively. Thank you but for now, the forum has been archived.
Would it be possible for the town of Twin Peaks itself be a tulpa?
I've often wondered whether there are in fact TWO Twin Peaks.
Yes! A normal town where everything is fine, and a parallel universe TP wthat we get to see. Maybe it's in a diorama that some kid made for school like the Twilight Zone.

Someone on Reddit says that Twin Peaks is the doppelganger of Snoqualmie (because a real Snoqualmie city road sign was seen in episode 15. (Snoqualmie and North Bend are the main TP filming locations cities)).
I discovered an intriguing idea in the Vox Review of this week's episode by Alissa Wilkinson:
"Which brings us back to doubles and tulpas. Is Twin Peaks: The Return a tulpa of Twin Peaks — a copy that is eerily unlike the original, and darkly, unpredictably dangerous? Well, I’m not willing to venture a guess yet, till I see next week’s final installments that will wrap this universe up at last. And even if it turns out the series is a tulpa for the original, I’m not sure that’s a bad thing. Tulpas, after all, seem to be manufactured vessels for pearls."

And, don't forget that Lynch has done something like this before with Blue Velvet. There was the real world that Kyle MachLachlan was asleep in and then there was the world where he sleuthed out Dennis Hopper, doing his weird "Mommy" sexual acts. I don't think it got to the level TP is at because it was one of his earlier works and he was just exploring what he may be capable of getting through to the audience. Now with TP he's going all out and taking us for a ride into alternate dimensions, and dreams inside of dreams, inside of dreams.
I've been forced to consider this same idea since we saw the motel that Bowie was making tea in. After hearing it was the same place Ms. Banks and gang were using in Oregon it seems plausible.
