One thing that I really like about Lynch is his repetition of common elements and themes:

Lynch also uses a motif of serious head trauma in most of his works, especially with characters with profound mental issues. This starts as early as Eraserhead, with Jack Nance hallucinating his own severed broken head on the street (also a possible combination with the doppelganger theme). Other examples are when it appears in Twin Peaks as Leland's method of suicide in jail, and in a pretty extreme fashion in Wild at Heart in the form of Willem Dafoe's head turning into a flying bowl of chunky soup in a bag after an unfortunate shotgun mishap .

Does anybody have any thoughts on his use of the color blue as a "mystical" color?

The spotlight that illuminates otherworldly/supernatural events throughout Fire Walk with Me is pretty harsh and white, but has a faint bluish tinge to it. It's subtle but it's noticeable as a contrast to the muted earth tones used in the rest of the town.
