One account suggested that the "[[Dr. Who (Land of Fiction)|Dr. Who]]" who travelled with his two grandchildren existed in the [[Land of Fiction]]. While visiting, the [[Seventh Doctor]] encountered a "John" and "Gillian" who claimed he was their grandfather in whose company they had fought the Kleptons and the Trods. They tried to make him remember that his name was Dr. Who, to which he flatly replied with denial. When they pressed further and asked if he remembered them, he said that he didn't.

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". | 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". Such a statement could be read as John and Gillian's World simply being dreams of the Doctor. Alternatively, it could be read as a real place, with both Eighth Doctors dreaming of each other: the [[2-D universe|"Spring-heeled Jack" reality]] could be the dream world or both realities could be real independently. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Land of Happy Endings (comic story)|The Land of Happy Endings]]'') The [[Second Doctor]] also had once remarked that his family was real, but he preferred not to think about them and "bring them in front of [his] eyes". As such, he let them "sleep in [his] mind" most of the time. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Tomb of the Cybermen (TV story)|The Tomb of the Cybermen]]'') | ||
It's important to note that the above two sources were not consistent with John and Gillian eventually growing older and leaving for [[Zebadee University]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Invasion of the Quarks (comic story)|Invasion of the Quarks]]'', ''[[Beware the Trods! (short story)|Beware the Trods!]]'') Additionally, [[Hob]]'s [[Death's Head Interactive Archive]] had records of John and Gillian Who being "known confederates" of the Doctor.
