After seeing a slimy trail in the corridor, Mari falls asleep and finds herself with the Eighth Doctor again. He says that he needs her help to escape and that she must remember him, but she soon awakes back on the ward with Sam and the Doctor. The Doctor tastes the slime and identifies it as a [[mucus]] excreted by some [[crustacean]]s and asks about [[Jed Fraser]], a dreamer who has died and has a puncture wound to his temples. He examines the [[Dream Guide]] by Fraser's bed and is taken to the sleep bay by [[orderly (Together in Eclectic Dreams)|an orderly]] on Tara's orders. | After seeing a slimy trail in the corridor, Mari falls asleep and finds herself with the Eighth Doctor again.

Mari and Sam fall asleep and encounter the Eighth Doctor, who tells them that High Dream is real and that, when he visited there some time ago, he was given a [[flask]] containing a [[Kantrofarri]] and took it aboard the TARDIS. The Kantrofarri attack, helped by Mari and Sam thinking about them, but the trio escape thanks to Sam's dream skills. Upon realising which Doctor Mari is travelling with, the Eighth Doctor realises that something is wrong as he cannot remember ever having travelled with her. | |||
Mari and Sam | The Doctor finds that the Dream Guides contain infant Kantrofarri and is saved from them by Mari, the Eighth Doctor and Sam. The two Doctors use [[Contact]] to freeze the Kantrofarri, scaring them with their [[memory|memories]], and they begin to crumble to dust. They turn against Professor Klovis. Tara knocks Sam unconscious, sending the Eighth Doctor back into the dream world, but the Doctor has realised that they too are in a dream and that he and Mari do not really travel together. Tara refuses to believe him until the Doctor asks her, Mari and Sam to sing one of her [[song]]s and find that they do not know any. The Kantrofarri attack her. | ||
'' | Sam is able to wake himself, the Doctor, Mari and Tara up. The Doctor awakes in the TARDIS and a Kantrofarri falls off him and turns to dust. He switches off the [[intruder alarm]], regrets accepting a flask from High Dream and remembers that Mari was never really with him. He wonders if he has been on his own too long and says that there is always time for one more adventure. He dematerialises the TARDIS. | ||
Mari wakes up to Sam knocking on his door and remembers him from the [[freshers' fair]]. As the [[radio DJ (Together in Eclectic Dreams)|radio DJ]] talks about Tara's new instrumental song, ''Dream Guide'', Mari gets ready to begin a "new adventure" with Sam. | |||
