Coverage
For a good while this story has been cited on the Wiki to say that John Who and Gillian Who only exist as dreams had by the Doctor, but this isn't the case. After awakening from his dream, the Doctor looks at his Gladstone bag from the original comic strips, heavily implying that while his grandchildren only exist to him now as dreams, it never meant that they weren't real, or that, for another explanation, they did exist but not in the way they were originally depicted.
In short, I think the ending is more ambiguous than how it has been covered, so does anyone have any input on how to treat this story with more nuance?
