Guys! I just had a thought and as I live alone, y'all will have to put up with my random ideas. Forgive me if this thought has already been discussed...
If we look at the breadth of the last 16 episodes, there is an argument to be made that everything has been one large meta-commentary on all of Lynch's works. There are references to his favorite movies, to Mulholland Drive, Lost Highway, Eraserhead, etc. throughout the show so far...keep this in mind.
The key to all of this making sense (I believe) lies in Cole's Monica Bellucci dream. In it she asks "the ancient question": "We are like the dreamer who dreams and then lives in the dream...but who is the dreamer?" Unless someone or something is introduced in the last two episodes, I thinks its fair to say that this HAS to be a reference to either Cooper or Audrey. As theories abound, I've read many that suggests that perhaps everything we've seen in the show is part of a dream...I don't buy this. For one, if either of them are the dreamer, neither would have been able to dream up cell phones, GPS, text messaging, etc. Besides, Lynch, although he loves to play with perspective and time, has never "pulled the rug" from under an audience like that.
With that said, what if the dreamer was somehow making things happen...dreams made manifest. If this is the case, Audrey is the likely choice. She is most connected to the town...what if she is somehow physically creating the madness in the town? Shelly's stereotypical love of bad boys, zombie girl, the rampant sickness, etc...something is off about the whole town. Again, not part of a dream but rather her dreams are making things change/happen in the real world.
If this is the case, then Charlie's presence becomes much more ominous. He is perhaps not a construct of her mind but rather the construct of an external force. There is evidence to support this...he dallies from leaving the house, he threatens to "end her story", and he appears to be a force in control of her. So perhaps he is actually a creation of the lodges and somehow made to exist in her subconcious? It needs to be mentioned that upon "waking up" we hear loud electrical cracking noises and we all know where that comes from.
Lastly, like I said at the top, all of Lynch's works are represented but one has been somewhat absent until now...
