Yep.

Nope.

The dwarf (the little man from another place), Mike the OAM, and
Killer Bob all appeared in this dream, independently.  They're not the
same.  Steve, you *have* to see this episode!

Harold the Boy Magician??  I understand the logic that you're using to
arrive at that, but I don't buy it.  Of course, I have no better
account to offer of "j'ai une a^me solitaire".  But I'm not sure why
we need to match *every* "numinous" character with a counterpart in
the "mundane" Twin Peaks (though it *is* interesting to try).
Remember the words of the OAM, chillun:

"Bob. . . is *Bob*!"
