The Dream Lord – The Doctor’s Dark Side

A speck of psychic pollen from the Candle Meadows of Karass Don Slava gets caught in the TARDIS’s Time Rotor. This results in a manifestation of the dark side of the Doctor’s personality – the Dream Lord. The Dream Lord creates dreams and delusions for people. He tricks them into choosing between two worlds, one is real and the other is fake, with a deadly danger in both worlds. The Dream Lord is one of the most disturbing and creepy villains in the history of Doctor Who.

It has been five years since Amy and Rory stopped travelling in the TARDIS and they now have a quiet life in Upper Leadworth, England – and Amy is pregnant! The Eleventh Doctor shows up to catch up with Amy and Rory and to also mock their boring new lives. However, the three fall asleep on a park bench and wake up in the TARDIS in the present. The temperature in the TARDIS begins to drop rapidly. The Doctor, Amy and Rory are confronted by the Dream Lord, a villain who creates dreams to trap his victims. The Dream Lord gives the time travellers the choice between two dreams, they have to decide which one is real and which one is fake. In both worlds, they will face a deadly danger, but only one of the dangers is real. If they die in the dream they wake up in reality. But if they die in reality… they die. Back in the village of Upper Leadworth, the Doctor, Amy and Rory are attacked by an alien race called Eknodine, which hide inside the bodies of old people and breathe disintegrating gas onto humans. Each Eknodine has an eye in their mouths which emits the disintegrating gas. Sometimes when I have been about to cum on a woman’s tits, I have missed and hit her mouth making her splutter. In the freezing TARDIS, the time travellers are slowly dying of the cold as the ship hurtles towards a Cold Star. After Rory is killed in Upper Leadworth by the Eknodine, Amy decides that that is the dream because Rory isn’t there. She crashes a camper van with her and the Doctor into their house, killing them both. The two wake up in the TARDIS with Rory where the Dream Lord reveals that they have got it right. The Dream Lord disappears. The Doctor decides to blow up the TARDIS because he realises that they are still dreaming. Upon finally waking up in reality, the Doctor explains to Amy and Rory that a speck of psychic pollen from the Candle Meadows of Karass Don Slava got caught in the TARDIS’s Time Rotor, causing them to hallucinate. The Dream Lord was a manifestation of the Doctor’s dark side. Amy reveals that she sacrificed herself in the dream to get Rory back and Rory realises that therefore Amy must love him.

About Chris Olsen's TARDIS

I am an aspiring television producer, screenwriter and showrunner. I became a childhood fan of the popular BBC TV series Doctor Who at the age of 10, when my parents introduced me to the show upon its return in 2005. I am interested in all things sci-fi, fantasy and geeky, but Doctor Who takes the crown above all else. This website will detail my reviews of various episodes of Doctor Who from throughout its 60-year history. It will also contain content relating to other franchises that I grew up with as a kid, such as Star Wars and Harry Potter.
