Dream Team was the second and final story in the audio anthology The Dream Team, produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Lizzie Hopley and featured Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor, Matthew Waterhouse as Adric, Sarah Sutton as Nyssa and Janet Fielding as Tegan Jovanka.

Publisher's summary

"Welcome to Concordium! The one stop destination for elite and effective corporate bonding."

A protected wonder of space is being exploited for 'company away days' but when the Doctor, Tegan, Nyssa and Adric land to challenge the organisers, they fall into a web of perfectly tailored nightmares. As the Doctor confronts one of the most dangerous monsters in existence, one that uses your own mind against you while it feeds, his companions fall deeper into the trap and a nasty truth is revealed – you can die in dreams.

Plot

Part one

The TARDIS is targeted by a hard sell virus from the protected Trine Archipelago which broadcasts an advertisement for Concordium's corporate away days all over the ship, waking Nyssa up despite her sleeping in the delta wave augmenter. Even when the Doctor manages to stop it, he, Nyssa, Adric and Tegan continue to hear it due to the earworm technology and he flies the TARDIS to the archipelago due to it having been closed to tourists for years. The travellers are subject to what seems to be an antiseptic gas when they arrive at Concordium and the Doctor leaves his three companions in reception whilst he looks around, but they and the TARDIS are gone by the time he gives up on finding anybody. He finds Nyssa on the beach and wakes her up from a dream given to her by a Kantrofarri of Adric and Tegan killing animals.

Adric and Nyssa run from exploding hailstones after Adric attempts to operate a computer and run through a door into a rainforest which Tegan recognises as Cape Tribulation, somewhere she and her mother were once caught in a hailstorm. They deduce that their minds must be being read and attempt to return to the TARDIS, but the door has vanished and Tegan hears her mother, whom she refuses to leave behind. The Doctor and Nyssa search for them, only to realise that they are both dreaming and wake themselves up by slapping one another. They wake up to find that Adric and Nyssa, as well as numerous other visitors, have Kantrofarri on their faces and they use mathematics to distract themselves from thinking about and attracting the Kantrofarri.

To save Adric and Tegan, the Doctor allows himself to be attacked by a Kantrofarri to enter the same state and convinces them that they are dreaming. A boar runs at the three of them and the Doctor believes that they will wake up as a result of the near-death experience, but multiple Nyssas appear and claim that they can show them the way out. The Doctor assures Adric and Tegan that nobody can die in a dream when one of the Nyssas points a gun at them. Despite this claim, Nyssa fires at him.

Part two

The Nyssas all disappear and Tegan goes looking for the real one whilst Adric tries to wake up the Doctor, only for another Doctor to arrive and explain that one can die in a dream and Adric has subconsciously brought them to a dream-version of Alzarius. The pair wake up by focusing on reception and the Doctor finds Nyssa distracting herself with maths to avoid attracting the attention of Kantrofarri which, unlike the others he has encountered, have intact stingers allowing them to feed on brains. Adric is attacked by a Kantrofarri and is reunited with Tegan in a dream of a war-torn Brisbane where she is determined to save her family.
