In every vision in Twin Peaks up to this point (Sarah, Cooper,
Ronette) the character dubbed "Killer Bob" has been evident.
But now, Maddy is having a vision of something (blood or fire,
as suggested already) creeping across the carpet. I think that this,
as well, relates to Killer Bob.

The only information we have from the show about Killer Bob is from
his brief speech and the One-Armed Man's monologue in Dale's dream.
I think the OAM's poem holds a clue:

"Through the darkness of future past
the magician longs to see
 One chance ours between two worlds
Fire, walk with me."

These visions, to me, suggest a link between the "normal" world
and the world of Killer Bob that seems to hover on the edge
of town. I think Maddy sees fire creeping across the carpet,
almost forming a path for her to walk upon. Perhaps the "one
chance" for these two worlds to connect was Laura Palmer.
Perhaps Maddy or Sarah offer another chance for a connection to
be made. Is there a "magician longing" for a chance to make
contact with  Maddy? Is Maddy receiving an invitation to this
world, in a path of fire she can walk along?  Did Laura, at
some point, receive a vision like this? James, remember,
received a similar invitation from Laura: "Do you want to play
with fire, little boy? Do you want to play with Bob?"

I just hope Killer Bob has no designs on Maddy. . .
Whatever the explanation, the visions are creepy. I don't know how
Maddy, Cooper, and Sarah sleep at night.
