I agree entirely with this, but in my case this is one of the reasons 
that I enjoyed it.  I get the feeling that there really is a consistent 
interpretation of everything, and the movie in some ways is sort of an 
intellectual puzzle to figure it out (I certainly had a better feel for 
things after the second watching than after the first).

Anyway, if you're interested enough, it looks like someone has already 
gone through the trouble of drawing a timeline flowchart to explain what 
happened:

So simple!
