Dr. Who Fan Fiction

Date Dreamed: 2014-02-13

Dream

I’m traveling with the Dr. and we get split up while running away from some robots. I arrive at the TARDIS alone and close the doors behind me. A seemingly friendly robot was following me and starts pleading from behind the doors. It's saying nothing but nice things, but I know that if it catches me it will kill me. I have to use the TARDIS before it gets through the doors, and end up near Abraham Lincoln. The Dr. and I have already had two adventures involving Lincoln but I’m not happy about it since during them I developed a morphine addiction and became pregnant (not as a women, but Junior style). I’m still mad about these as they are ongoing problems that the Dr. hasn’t fixed yet. Anyway, we are at a military fort, where Lincoln is illegally stockpiling arms before the start of the civil war. I already know many of the officers from previous adventures, so I have a good sense of what’s going on. It's night and I’m flying around (without any vehicle) observing everything from above without anyone noticing me. One of the officers is going to have a sword duel with some member of an evil conspiracy group in the forest outside the fort. I perch high in a tree and watch the dual start. The other onlookers complain that the starlight is too even (whatever that means) and start hanging up lights. A Native American guide climbs the tree I’m in to turn on some lights and almost catches me. He aims some multi-colored lights and the duelers and then starts setting up a large spot light on a pole. When the spot light comes on it sweeps over me briefly and people notice me floating in the air. I retreat as everyone starts freaking out as they think witches are attacking.

Context Explanations

I watched all the Dr. Who on Netflix recently. I only watched the new series, as the classic stuff was a little to dated for my taste.

Plot Holes

My history seems a little questionable, but I’ve just learned that morphine was around during the American Civil War and that addictions were common (I looked it up on Wikipedia while writing this). The male pregnancy doesn’t make sense though. I’ll just assume it had something to do with aliens.

Erection?

Covertly Yes

Analysis

I was always slightly off put by how England-centric, and often London-centric, Dr. Who was, so I’m glad that my story involved someone else’s history. Sure, I just replaced it with an American bias, but you use the history you know. Friendly robots don’t seem like a terrible villian. They were strangely threatening since the just want to do stuff like give you a hug, but that hug would crush the life out of you. My behavior of stealthily observing history was nothing like a standard Dr. Who story. Without having the Dr. around I guess I wasn’t up to blatantly inserting myself into the action. My flying around seems like something that could be accomplished with some sweet future technology, but it would provide an easy way out of so many problems that it seems like a really bad idea drama-wise. I also smell some Assassins Creed III rip offs. The observation from a tree and the evil conspiracy group are very similar to that game.

Auguries

I should be careful about getting addicted to morphine and very careful not to get pregnant. The Dr. isn’t going to solve these problems for me.

Karting Characters

Date Dreamed: 2014-01-08

Dream

We are about to play Mario Kart and everyone is picking their character. I go first and pick Luigi, but I make sure to go really fast so no one else can get Luigi first. Kyle goes next and picks random (probably because he really wanted Luigi) so he ends up with Koopa Troopa. Kris’s brother (whose name I can’t remember but don’t feel bad about) is waiting to pick his character until Kris gets back from upstairs. That was it. That was the whole dream.

Context Explanations

I went to grade school with Kyle and we played plenty of Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 together. I once played Mario Kart on the Wii at Kris’s house and his brother was there.

Plot Holes

I want to say we were playing on the Nintendo 64, but Koopa Troopa wasn’t a character in that game. We couldn’t have four players on the Super Nintendo, and I really don’t think we were on the Wii. Also, I don’t remember any game having a random character option.

Erection?

Nostalgically Yes

Analysis

My urgent desire to pick Luigi might be some sort of persecution complex or extreme competitive desire. Seems like a stretch though. I’m pretty sure it's just the way a child behaves when picking a character he is excited about, which fits better with the dream. Waiting for Kris is definitely my impatience with advances in space travel though.

Auguries

Koopa Troppa is a turtle (or maybe they were terrapins?), and turtles symbolize never leaving you house. Don’t expect to see me outdoors in the next few days.

Undead Assault

Date Dreamed: 2013-12-21

Dream

A group of British space travelers are colonizing a new planet. Shortly after they arrive a plague starts to spread that causes large red sores on the skin and is deadly after a short time. Before they get that sorted out an army of undead arrives. Their town is on a hill with a fortified wall built around it, and the undead are landing boats in the nearby bay. The dream turns into a real time strategy game and I’m trying to repel wave after wave of undead with medieval infantry. Two huge ships of undead arrive and the odds are overwhelming so the British retreat behind the fortifications. Now I’m controlling a vampire unit and trying to fly over the wall. The flight controls are terrible and I can’t get it to work. The undead army moves away from the city after this (I’m guessing because they can’t breach the walls?). I notice a building near the beach that has multiple squads of pikemen standing around it and realize it is a unit spawner for my army. I debate if I should use these units to pursue the undead or guard the shore.

Context Explanations

A unit spawner is a video game construct the continuously generates game pieces. In this case, squads of pikemen (dudes with long spears). All my other video game jargon should be fairly understandable.

Plot Holes

I’m not real sure why people capable of space travel were engaging in medieval style combat, and this is possibly the first time that an army has ever been defeated by poor flight controls.

Erection?

Strategically Yes

Analysis

This seems like a big amalgamation of media I’ve experienced in the recent past. I see some Age of Empires II (real time medieval combat), Game of Thrones (undead armies and siege battles), Lego Marvel (poor flight controls), Dr. Who (British space travel), and Heroes of Might and Magic (unit design, especially the undead). The general plot is very similar my last dream, so you could probably copy that analysis for this one. I sure have a lot of dreams about vampires. Also, I think colonizing a new planet is crazy dangerous.

Auguries

This dream sounds kind of like Ragnarök. We’ve also been getting plenty of snow recently so this might be the start of Fimbulwinter. I’m pretty sure the apocalypse is coming.

Borderlands, Bugs, and Yellow Balls

Date Dreamed: 2013-12-15

Dream

Shane and I are playing Borderlands, but not with controllers. We are living the game. We start out by picking up four bounty missions to kill some dangerous animals. The first three are completed without issues (at least none that I can remember, as this part of the dream is hazy). While heading to the last mission we are stopped by a military roadblock and have to take a different route (this has nothing to do with anything). We find the last animal and it's some kind of large fly that shoots slow moving poisonous yellow balls that can control your mind (all that and more). Shane gets hit by a ball and starts running around on all fours while also shooting yellow balls at me. Then another bigger fly shows up and adds even more flying yellow balls to the picture (by bigger I don’t mean the new fly was scales up, but it was like three of the original fly staked on top of one another. It was quite awkward looking). Now I’m in more of a bullet hell game and am fighting back by deflecting the balls at my attackers. All the yellow balls remind me of tennis and I wish I had a racket. After I've hit the fly creature enough times Shane is released from the mind control and we walk away while the fly is slowly dying of the poison (pretty hard boiled).

Context Explanations

Shane is my best friend and we've played Borderlands together quite a bit. Borderlands is a First Person Shooter video game with some fantastical creatures (no yellow ball shooting flies though). As usual, the dream wasn’t that true to the mechanics of the game.

Plot Holes

What happened to the big fly?

Erection?

Entomologically Yes

Analysis

Pretty sure this dream just shows that I enjoy playing video games with Shane. We have been doing it for so long that we have a natural rhythm that kicks in whenever we work cooperatively. Having him become mind controlled and losing his support is the worst thing that could happen, but we still came out good in the end.

Auguries

Shane and I will kick as at video games. I don’t think I needed a dream to tell me that.

Futuristic Building Materials and Crappy Contests

Date Dreamed: 2013-12-07

Dream

The main idea was a new material based on small units shaped like two cones connected at the pointy end. If the pieces were connected side by side (unidirectional) then they would make a strong but flexible belt. If connected alternately horizontal and vertical (bidirectional) they made a rigid beam. The material was used to makes bikes due to its light weight and could apparently be used for every part of the bike. The pieces were always black or forest green. Throughout the dream, flashes were shown of a women’s bike race conducted on self-constructed bikes. The bikes never seemed to be working very well, but there was a wide variety of designs. Some were traditional, some had pedals that drove both front and back wheels, and some had a single tread like tire instead of wheels.

The later part of the dream was about another competition involving the new material, but also Pokémon! My friend Shane was a contestant and I was there watching him. Two islands were in a bottomless pit and connected by rope bridges made from the invented material. Three boss Pokémon had to be beaten in the cleverest way possible, and maybe the fastest. Shane’s plan was to use an exploding kamikaze Pokémon on the first boss since he was standing on the bridge and if you blew it up he would fall into the pit and be gone in one move. At this point I noticed one of his Pokémon was the Heavy from Team Fortress 2 (it surprised me too). He said that the TF2 characters had been added as new Pokémon with some sort of lame story used to justify it.

Context Explanations

Shane is my best friend and we used to play Pokémon on our Gameboys back when it was a new thing (late 90’s nostalgia alert). Don’t worry if you don’t know anything about Pokémon because this story completely fails to resemble that game in any way.

Plot Holes

Were these women not allowed to design their bikes beforehand, because they are struggling to get them to move at all?

Erection?

Yes

Analysis

Advanced construction materials are something that I find interesting, so I guess I was trying to dream up something to build a space elevator with. The contests represent a feeling that technological advances are rarely used to their greatest benefit. I also have a deep seated fear that the TF2 characters will eventually be in all video games (based on Steam promotions this isn’t all that irrational).

Auguries

Pokémon foretell conflict, and the TF2 Heavy predicts destruction. Dark times are ahead.
