The Dreaming is the sixth story in The Shakespeare Notebooks, featuring the First Doctor.

Summary

One of the strangest sections of the Shakespeare Notebooks comprises a form of 'dream diary', in which he apparently recorded characters, situations and images that had come to him in his sleep.

Of particular interest is the entry for 24 June 1594 - the midsummer night's dream that inspired one of his well-loved plays, which appears to have been born entirely from his imagination...
