The only way to enjoy Lynch movies for me is to watch them like you look at a painting.
Enjoy the cinematography, costumes, lighting, music, atmosphere, etc.
Trying to follow the plot (especially on the first viewing) is frustrating and futile.
We watched “Lost Highway” in school and I think I was the only one who raised his hand when the teacher asked afterwards who liked the movie. For everyone else it was a stupid mess. Me, I enjoyed the filmmaking aspects of it. One girl accused me of “only liking it because of the sex scenes” lol

That’s kinda the best approach to Lynch’s films: he’s a jazzman of cinema. Except the plot is also a part of his technique.
He was known to invent parts of his films on the spot: e.g. the cowboy character in ‘Mulholland Drive’.
