Sorry if I disappoint you but I don't have all that much to say about the particular experience of me as a meditator watching Lynch.
I liked Twin Peaks a lot though. Haven't watched it post-insights, it's a long time ago, but I remember being both deeply touched, and amused. He does seem to get the attentive viewer into a subtler form of mind and emotion space, I guess?
I found the movie Inland Empire pretty fascinating. It seems to get you into what it would really be like to be inside the experience of the traumatized person. Not sure how to describe how he does it, but I vaguely remember that no other movie did it quite like that one did.
Oh man, Inland Empire was something else! I've seen it described (I think) as a journey straight through the subconscious, and it's a good analogy. Like a series of dreams, it meanders through its scenes, some seemingly furthering previous scenes, others jarringly discordant on the surface, but regardless of the relationship of each scene to the next, there's a constant symbolic undercurrent that propels the movie forward. I can see why it's not for everyone, given that I felt it was a little too long (which, tbf, may have been because I was watching it as part of a larger David Lynch retrospective) but it was still quite an experience. If I happen to find another screening of it at some point in the future, there's a good chance I'll catch it again, as I will with most of his work.
