However, by one reading of this account, the world of John and Gillian potentially was real, as both Eighth Doctors dreamed of each other, meaning the [[2-D universe|"Spring-heeled Jack" reality]] could be the dream world or that both realities could be real independently.

These evading techniques led to the creation of a psychic entity known as the [[Five O'Clock Shadow]], which the Doctor ultimately escaped by using the same TARDIS functionality to give life to perfectly angst-free versions of [[Dr. Who (Dr. Who and the Daleks)|himself]] and [[Susan (The Five O'Clock Shadow)|Susan]].
