The Dream was the sixth story in The Shakespeare Notebooks, featuring a representation of 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...
Characters
- Old Doctor
- William Shakespeare
- Butterfly King Hrobron
- Butterfly Queen Tetynia
- Flaxis
- Field Major Kryntz
- Stoun
- Fabricator Stombot
- Starvel
- Snarg
References
- On Vortis are a "butterfly" king and queen, each riding a giant ant and accompanied by giant grubs and woodlice men.
