Summary
* This is a new version of “Dark Retrospect” with additional chapters. [Further details are in Notes.] * jer 2025
The necklace that Rose Tyler had been given isn’t the bit of chain and beads it appears. When the little empathic creatures wake hungry, the ”Dreamers” find a feast of sublimated passions, desires and fears, love, and crippling regrets in buried nightmares and secret daydreams. In the night the Doctor and Rose both dream; in the morning they discover that the Dreamers had entangled them in a fantasie of imagination made real.
Still reeling from the repercussions of the Dreamer-spun fantasie sinistre they are forced to land the crippled TARDIS on a planet where visitors are always cause for partying, and the theme of the party is always physical torture.
There’s torture… and then there’s torture. The Doctor, Jack, and Rose will find it can be far far easier to stop others from messing with their minds than to stop doing it to themselves.
They will also find that friendships can be stronger than anything that might test them.
