On this week's episode we continue the discussion on the Black Lodge - now with 100 percent less pneumonia! We dive into some fringe theories including: the ideas of the lodge as a mental scape, the aesthetics and where they may have come from, we continue our exploration on the differences between the red room and the lodge itself - but first, Listener mail!

This week I discuss the Black Lodge. Where and when is it? Is it a physical, spiritual, extra-dimensional or psychological location? We discuss the Black Lodge on Twin Peaks and speculate about it's utility within the context of the show narrative and beyond.

I also discuss the true origins of the Black Lodge. It's place in mythological writings, the many similarities between the Lodge and the creation stories of various cultures and chase down questions pertaining to it's relationship with the dreamer.

This week I'm joined by an exciting co-host, Gordon The GPT.

After some extensive training on the "Carrie Page is the Dreamer" theory, I put Gordon on the task of creating ten elaborate questions designed to walk the theory top to bottom in it's current state. We discuss the shadows of Twin Peaks, the location of the black lodge, the trauma of the dreamer, the differences between archetypes and complexes, the autonomy of the mental drama and tons more.

If you're a first time listener - this is a perfect episode to fall in on as we prepare to employ this theory for character, episode, scene and story deep dives.

What if Carrie Page is the Dreamer?

Join us as we discover the narrative reason, universe reason and outer-show reasons of Carrie Page.

We delve into her world, her symbols, her circumstances and we almost make it without saying "missing Page."

We also discuss Cooper, 80's cop archetypes and the new archetype of the brooding cop, complexes masked as media tropes, dimensions versus new levels of consciousness and whether or not Carrie Page has a career in home design.

Remember to subscribe and join in the conversation. We'd love to hear your thoughts and have you help us piece this newly forming theory together.

What if Carrie Page is the Dreamer?

What if Twin Peaks is a Jungian drama playing out in the personal unconscious?

What if I stopped asking these inflated questions and just did a podcast on "Momma's Family?"

Join us on the introduction edition of "Dreamer's Diary" as we lay out the general principals of our still-in-progress Twin Peaks concepts. On this episode we discuss: Jungian psychology and why it may be the key to understanding Twin Peaks, the personal unconscious and how it relates to the multiple layers of the show, archetypes vs complexes and why you should never trust a person who turns down a free coffee.

Join us as we lay some groundwork for the podcast and describe the framework that we'll be using moving forward. Also - lend your voice to our theory as investigate - head over to https://www.youtube.com/@DreamersDiaryPodcast
