the simplest explanation is that the first half is a dream and the second half is reality for Naomi watts’ character, basically split by the theater scene.

I didn’t pick up on that until afterwards but I wasn’t watching it trying to solve a puzzle. Evidently nearly every scene is a clue

You almost have to view these films in context of his whole catalog...

Lost Highway has the same themes of duality and reality/dream states. Twin Peaks plays with doppelgängers and the shadow self.

Hell, even the name Twin Peaks infers duality...

There are no definite “answers” to be found in his works but the spaces that are created in between the scenes are what is special. Hard to explain and definitely works on an unconscious level. Lynch truly is a painter that uses film as a canvas.
