The [[Sixth Doctor]] told [[Peri]] it was "rather like the wake left behind by a ship at sea". The duo encountered one created by [[Tasq]], a [[Time Engineer]] from the [[planet]] [[Bestonas]]. It connected [[London]] in [[January]] [[1986]] to the London of [[1720]]. | [[File:TimeWakeCollapse.png|thumb|A Time Wake collapses around [[Tasq]]'s hand ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Time Wake (short story)|Time Wake]]'')]]A '''Time Wake''' was an anomaly in the [[time vortex]] caused by the use of (primitive) time travel technology.

Time Wakes "healed themselves" after primitive time travel excursions were halted. Until that time, however, they presented themselves as shimmering blue-white rings. People could step directly into the rings and be transported to wherever the Wake took them. The sign of a Wake closing was a gradual constriction of the circumference of the ring. It was possible for Time Wakes to be lethal, if one attempted to enter at a point where the circumference could not accommodate one's personal size. Tasq, for instance, died because he tried to step into a Time Wake that had closed too far.

[[TARDIS]]es additionally left temporal wakes, which were areas in the vortex where it had recently been or will be. A TARDIS could cross its own wake. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Imperial Moon]]'') The [[Headhunter]] programmed [[Morbius]]' [[stellar manipulator]] to follow [[the Doctor's TARDIS]]' time wake as she locked it on to [[Lucie Miller]]'s [[DNA]].
