    I absolutely love some of Lynch’s work but will openly confess that I have no idea what he was trying to tell me.

      I’m also a Lynch fan. The only time I really watch his movies is when I have a bad fever. I was sweating through my couch, dying to sip water and binging Twin Peaks. It’s really the only way to watch, I have to say.

      Maybe psychedelics? That might be good too.

        Well put. A director that mutes all others in comparison. Plenty of great directors address the audience, Lynch displays it all in such a way as to inexplicably yet certainly speak to you and you alone

      Surrealist art is intended to speak to the subconscious. I have a feeling this is why Lynch didn’t like to explain the meaning of his films. Emotional understanding emphasised over intellectual understanding.

      imho, it all boils down to two simple things:

      1. We live inside a dream, but who is the dreamer?
      2. You can’t go back home.
