Howling:Dreams
I've been puzzled by the point of the bit in TToA where River quotes from the book "What if we had ideas that could think for themselves? What if one day our dreams no longer needed us? When these things occur and are held to be true, then the time will be upon us. "The Time of angels"" , and there's a lot of dream related bits in other episodes as follows:
TEH the coma patients dreaming and all saying "Doctor", PZ says about little Amelia "Dreaming of the magic doctor she knows will return to save her", Amy then dreaming of the room and what she saw in it forces PZ to replicate himself so the Atraxi can recapture it,
TBB Liz 10 brought up on legends of the Doctor who turns out to be real ?
VotD Bracewell remembering his artifical memories to stop the bomb
TToA / FaS hallucinogenic lipstick induces a dream state, the quote at top of this post
TVoV Roseanna says to the Doctor "Remember us. Dream of us..."
AC 2 dreamworlds both seeming totally real, the Dream Lord's refection in the console
THE / CB ? Eldane's speech about not forgetting the past or the Doctor and his losses etc
VatD ?
so my theory is that in TPO / TBB Amy remembers in her dreams things which have been erased from reality, ie Rory and the Doctor and the TARDIS and somehow this brings them all back

TL The Doctor says to Craig "...but frankly I'm an absolute dream." 86.26.137.154 09:04, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
TPO Rory says to the Doctor "Just here like I'd woken up from a dream.Started to think it was a dream. You and Amy and Leadworth" 86.26.137.154 07:50, June 22, 2010 (UTC)
Frankly, I've been thinking for quite a while now that all the dream references are a way go leading up to the "but the whole series 5 is a dream" -- but as a red herring. Beside just being terrible, there are things that quite literally point out the link to reality, such as the Byzantium adventure being referenced by River in a previous story with Doc 10 (in the Library after handcuffing the Doc).
But I do subscribe to her remembering something and bringing it back. I don't know if it will be everyone/everything, but it will at least be Rory. I think the Doc has to fix at least some of this on his own. BrainySpecs 08:11, June 22, 2010 (UTC)
