Did anyone else experience restless sleep and vivid dreams/nightmares following the season finale?
I remember having some pretty messed up dreams and was awake at around 5am, not being able to sleep. I'm sure there was some kind of subliminal hidden messages in episode 18.
Maybe that, or I'm obsessing far too much over it ?
The latter, methinks. I think many of us lost, and are still losing sleep. DL's work exists to mess up our dreams. I am feeling pretty frakked up myself, and am not sure I will ever really be ok...
I was deeply disturbed by the season two finale 25 years ago, not so much by this one although I was up reading forums until 3:30 am 🙂
Not crazy. Same thing happened to me.
Man, Lynch has done a great job of continuing this great story in our heads. I'm pretty sure I wrote my own version of season 4 last night
Same thing happened to me. Thankfully, the morning after was a holiday, when I didn't have to go to work.
The finale has definitely haunted my waking thoughts, but do you want to know what I actually dreamed last night? For real?
I dreamed that David Lynch had died and that meant we'd NEVER find out any more about all this.
I know we might not anyway, but it was just this amplified feeling of being left hanging, like the worst unresolved cliffhanger of all time. As complex as my feelings on Lynch and the finale are right now, I was quite happy to wake up and realize he was still with us. 😉
Well after watching the last 2 episodes 3 times each and all the thinking and the reading in the forum and stuff like that made me dream about it too and its not the 1st time..
I usually rewatch the episode the next day and plan to do so tonight, but yesterday I watched THE ART LIFE, the documentary about David focusing on his early life and career up to Eraserhead. I am so glad I did so. It was so good, his painting is phenomenal, and the stories and images added to my understanding of ALL of it so much. I highly recommend it as a way of further understanding TPTR and grounding your own responses in the reality of his vision, because that's what is driving the responses. He's also quite lovable, more so than I'd expected. I think he's a decent sort in addition to being very interesting.
There are also great little Easter eggs dropped for us such as:
His first girlfriend was named Linda.
His first important art mentor was named Bushnell.
He grew up in an idyllic childhood but it was shattered by a naked woman with a bloodied mouth walking up to him and his brother on the lawn (ala Blue Velvet).
It's definitely something I've devoted a lot of mental energy to over the last couple nights, but it hasn't haunted me.
Maybe it's because I don't think that all is lost at the end. I interpret the scream as Laura's reawakening, and that means Ms. Judy will have an armed and fully operational golden orb to deal with...

In my case theses particular episodes didn't had that effect, but others like part 8 did it. I couldn't sleep that night or also when Sarah kills the Truck you guy. Those really disturbed me.
I am quite sure I had some "bad" dreams related to the finale, but cannot remember them. Strangely I have felt the thought of these final parts as a kind of a heavy weight inside me, at the same time marveling that TV could have such an effect on me. In some ways I felt being in the presence of something more strange and sinister than the comparatively direct imagery of Part 8.

Dark art has energy that can mess with your mojo. In the realm of spirit we practice envisioning ourselves surrounded by healing, comforting pure white light. Like a bubble of protection. You could try this visualization and see if it helps.
I was up til about 3 AM thinking about the Red Room and Mr.C, im sure the burning Mr.C scene will never leave my brain. I dozed off a few times around that time, and i most def. had Twin Peaks, black lodge-red room scenes. I would PAY to remember those dreams I swear. I think its awesome that some of us can say we barely wrote our own episodes to season 4 in our dreams following the finale.
