would you please explain the ending of Muholland Drive to me? As soon as the blue box is opened, I'm confused. What is reality? What really happened?

They blue box represents the thoughts and feelings Diane must repress to engage her fantasy. She also alluded to it when asked "what does this open" regarding the blue key. The more beautiful Diane becomes in her fantasy the more hideous the monster becomes. The monster is both evil and just as it works to bring Diane back to reality or destroy her. The monster carries the box. The box is the id, the monster the ego, the grandparents the judging super ego. The fantasy is shallow and must end when the objective for the fantasy has been attained one can no longer sustain the illusion. Diane having had Camilla knew the box must be opened not and the truth faced. The blue haired lady was the queen of all monsters "Silencio." Club Silencio alludes to the idea of wisdom and silence, that aside it's the tangible expression of Diane's reality "it's and illusion" triggers the blue box to manifest in her purse.
The ego mediates between the id, the super-ego and the external world. In other words the monster was mediating between the blue box, the grandparents and the external world. It balanaces primitive drives, morals and reality.
The super ego or the grandparents is more rooted in culture and father figures. The super ego acts as the conscience it stands in oppisistion of the ego and is aggressive toward it.
The id is subconscience and is symbolized by the blue box. All those things locked up there.
