Another, unrelated account stated that one version of the [[Eighth Doctor]] who had recently encountered [[Spring-heeled Jack]] ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Curious Tale of Spring-Heeled Jack (comic story)|The Curious Tale of Spring-Heeled Jack]]'') had dreams in which he had adventures with young versions of John and Gillian. The Doctor believed that he dreamed this world to envision a reality where "villains are naughty, not evil", "people never die", and "promises are never broken".

However, by one reading of this account, the world of John and Gillian potentially was real, as the Eighth Doctor of their world ''also'' dreamed of the [[2-D universe|"Spring-heeled Jack" reality]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Land of Happy Endings (comic story)|The Land of Happy Endings]]'')
However, by one reading of this account, the world of John and Gillian potentially was real, as both Eighth Doctors dreamed of each other, meaning the [[2-D universe|"Spring-heeled Jack" reality]] could be the dream world.

In yet another account, John and Gillian did indeed physically exist and travel with the Doctor, but they were mathematically-computed simulacra given reality by [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] based on the Doctor's wishes. They were only two of "thousands" of [[companion]]s whom the Doctor had created out of thin air, perfect and unchanging, to travel at his side without fear of death, in an effort to avoid responsibilities and [[anxiety]]. These evading techniques led to the creation of a psychic entity known as the [[Five O'Clock Shadow]], which the Doctor ultimately escaped by using the same TARDIS functionality to give life to perfectly angst-free versions of [[Dr. Who (Dr. Who and the Daleks)|himself]] and [[Susan (The Five O'Clock Shadow)|Susan]]. ([[POEM]]: ''[[The Five O'Clock Shadow (poem)|The Five O'Clock Shadow]]'')
