How did Fred Madison change into Pete Dayton in prison in Lost Highway?

2IMHO this is unanswerable. Lynch has never explained the movie, and most likely never will, so all you'll get is an endless list of interpretations, e.g. italkyoubored.wordpress.com/2013/01/30/… . The screenplay has been published as a book but doesn't offer any explanation either AFAIK: amazon.com/Lost-Highway-David-Lynch/dp/0571191509– BCdotWEBCommented Jul 11, 2016 at 12:24

I wondered this myself, but just assumed it was David Lynch being David Lynch.– Johnny BonesCommented Jul 11, 2016 at 13:33

I've always seen it as a dream (same narrative as Mulholland Dr.): he goes to jail and dreams he could start it all over again younger, but reality seeps through the dream. He's in jail dreaming the whole time. The mysterious man symbolizes a taunt: death or waking up.– MicroMachineCommented Jul 12, 2016 at 15:24

Bill had a very bad headache and ask for medicine in prison. He was suspicious about his wife and killed her.
After being arrested by police he psycologically transformed to a young good guy with pure heart in prison.
The camera man is Bill's instinct. This man is under high pressure within murdering his wife and psychologically transformed.
