Falling, Floating, Dreaming: The Magic of Twin Peaks Episode 6 "Cooper's Dream" | The Lovers | Twin Peaks S1EP5

Screen to Screen: A Reel Podcast

The Blood Red Moon.  A rare, celestial phenomena that paints Luna red as she moves into the Earth’s dark shadow and becomes enveloped by the halo of the sun’s fiery ring of light ensorcelling the parabola of Earth’s perfect circle like an endless, golden dawn.  Even though our last episode focused on The Moon Tarot card, Episode 5 of Twin Peaks Season 1, the sixth episode of the season, “Cooper’s Dream”, this one  begins at 4:28am as Cooper awakens under the watchful gaze of full, red, blood moon; a harbinger of so much to come this episode; of eclipses and shadows, of lovers torn asunder and brought together, of mysteries revealed and curtains, red like the moon, concealing the horrible truth that must see the light of day; devils hiding like cowards in the smoke of the fire.  In this episode, a sleep deprived Cooper commits to his theory leading to his team up with his detective troupe as they head into the woods of Twin Peaks for an important encounter with the Log Lady who speaks of her former lover and husband and later,  all the way to a red-curtained cabin.  Audry Horne commits to actions of her own that take her to the perfume counter of her Father’s department store.  Ben and Jerry Horne flit with danger, sex and disaster as they court new clients for the Ghostwood project and Ben courts Josie Packard in a devious triple-cross scheme.  Dr. Jacoby counsels the Briggs family and speaks to Bobby of lovers, sex and commitment.  Donna, James and Maddeline Ferguson form a new lovers triangle and commit to a plan to find Laura’s killer on their own.  Shelly and Norma commit to each other; both jaded lovers trying to break the shackles of their lover’s bonds.  And Leland Palmer, the lost lover, dancing still, looking for a partner, looking for a ghost that isn’t there, haunted by the same music in the air, dancing in the Smoke Room of the great Northern Hotel, and Audrey Horne, the lover of the story with, as Cooper cautioned her, ‘a heart that yearns’, appearing naked and afraid in Special Agent Dale Cooper’s bed at the great northern to end the this episode of lovers, commitments and total eclipses of the heart.
