Summary
In this memoir, David Lynch - cocreator of Twin Peaks and writer and director of groundbreaking films like Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive - opens up about a lifetime of extraordinary creativity, the friendships he has made along the way and the struggles he has faced - sometimes successful, sometimes not - to bring his projects to fruition.
Part memoir, part biography, Room to Dream interweaves Lynch's own reflections on his life with the story of those times, as told by Kristine McKenna, drawing from extensive and explosive interviews with 90 of Lynch's friends, family members, actors, agents, musicians and collaborators. Lynch responds to each recollection and reveals the inner story of the life behind the art.

outstanding book
Real thoughtful examination of Lynch's life and art. Not too self indulgant while positive and inspirational.
if you interested in lynch's films or filmmaking in general this is worth it...and having lynch narrate his sections on the audio book is great... I might go and get the print addition to reference... but with this audio book it's been wonderful to be immersed in lynchs world for a few days..

Unique but quite a long listen
This is a long audiobook, so I would recommend seasoned audiobookers or David Lynch fans alike. That said it’s an interesting book and David Lynch’s narration makes it all the more fascinating. His voice is quite meditative or something – perhaps through all the Transcendental Meditation he does. I think if you are interested in Transcendental Meditation you will also enjoy this audiobook. It was a life changing practice for David Lynch. It took me a long long time getting through it, and was almost relieved at the end. The book gave me an appetite to rewatch some old David Lynch movies like The Elephant Man. I especially enjoyed the part of the book where he talks about the making of it.
