Around the dinner table, the conversation was lively. Thank you but for now, the forum has been archived.
If there is indeed a dreamer (I'm sceptical) I'd put Laura on top of or near the top of the list.
I'm gonna take a guess that it's Audrey
I'd have to agree, it has to be Audrey. Her 'dreamy' line is infamous!
Aren't tulpa's some sort of dream-like projections?
Could the dreamers be the beings stuck in the lodge while being replaced by the tulpa's?
Some lodge inhabitants use dreams to influence people.
Could the vanishing of Diane have happened at the same moment Naido appeared?
In other words: I don't think the question is a riddle. It's a hint at how the whole tulpa thing works...

Oooh - then who is/are is MIKE'S tulpa(s)?

Well, a tulpa is the collective thoughtforms of many, separate individuals. So, I think all the surreal dream scenes are a collection of thoughts from many characters, not just one.
I think it was just as much a meta-reference to Lynch the filmmaker and us the audience, all conjuring these characters together, as it would be to any single character. I doubt it will be tied to one particular character. We may have clues of a particular dreaming character or characters... shucks, this goes way back to Jerry in the first season saying "It's like we're all in some kind of strange dream." But I predict it will serve more as food for thought than an important plot point. OR, they'll all be dreamers--Audrey, Laura, Cole, Cooper, everyone, all dreamers, and BOB is the nightmare stalker.
It should be noted here like someone pointed out in the Part 15 thread: The scene of the Monica Belucci dream was just feet from David Lynch's 2015 art installation on Rue du Montparnasse in Paris. So, again, I'm drawn to the meta-reference interpretation.

The shoe salesman?
Agree. The Dreamer is not to be taken literally as any one specific person. If any thing it's either us as the viewers, or "everyone" on some level.
You could connect with the concept via an Eastern Hindu or Buddhist perspective, as well as from the many Western references that have been posited over the years (Shakespeare all the way up Timothy Leary). And Lynch himself: almost every movie he's made has some reference to dreams or dreaming, from Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart, to Mulholland Drive and more.
