The Doctor

Two dreams recently have featured Doctor Who/David Tennant again. First things first:

I was in an audience in the hall at my old school. The hall with the stage. Joanna Hulse was sat next to me. She's a girl I had a love-hate relationship with at school - you know, the girl you love to hate. There was a group of girls performing some play. David Tennant had come to play Dr Who and he was the only male character. Al the rest were girls. I’m not sure how old they were, I don’t think they were old enough to be students at St George’s. There was one particular girl in the play who attracted my attention for some reason. I knew her, but not from real life. She had shoulder length dark brown hair and was probably aged between 8 and 11. There was a bit of singing, but I couldn’t understand it. Then the TARDIS materialised and out walked the Doctor/David Tennant. Joanna started gushing about how lovely he is and tried to get me to admit that I fancied the pants off him and I was all laid back about it and was like “he’s okay, but he’s nothing special, he’s just some guy.”

At the end of the show everyone had gone and I walked out of the back of the hall and stepped outside. As I stepped outside I heard a voice say "well if it isn't Aunty Sharon!" I looked to my right and sitting on a chair looking out over the playground was David Tennant/The Doctor. It was him talking to me. "Sorry?" I said as I turned and walked towards him. I stood directly in front of him and looked him in the eyes. "Sorry" I repeated, "I didn't quite catch that."

"You're Aunty Sharon!" he said, then he said the girl's name who had caught my attention, but I don't remember it. "All **** did was talk about Aunty Sharon and how wonderful she is..." Then he went on to explain to me that all the songs were in various alien languages and he'd translated the lyrics from snippets of things this girl had said about me. So all the songs had been about me and how great I am. And there was David Tennant/The Doctor believing that I was a really amazing aunt and looking up to me, both literally (from his chair) and figuratively.

The scene changed and I saw my best mate from school, Emma. Somehow that made the connection in my head. The girl in the dream. She's Emma's daughter.

The second dream is more disjointed. I was The Doctor's companion/lover. I'd been a few places with him and traveled a bit. I knew all about him. There were battles and enemies. Time kept changing and going back and forth, but the Doctor didn't age and neither did I. I had identical twins. Boys. They were Time Lords too. They went back to Gallifrey. It was inhabited by evil aliens. I don't recall what they were, but they were resisting the return of the Time Lords.

Not surprisingly my book doesn't tell me anything about Dr Who dreams, famous people dreams, dreams about time travel. Dreams about aliens however can reveal hidden fears, especially of the unknown. Or it could mean I've been watching far too much Doctor Who....
