[The Doctor faces the camera of his journal towards himself with a determined, serious expression. He holds up one finger.]

I've got quite a bit on my mind, and I'd prefer not to lose my temper... however-

[He turns it away, to show his TARDIS painted pink.]

I know the old girl wouldn't choose to do this to herself! Who's responsible?! Someone must be, because usually I can simply move into the vortex with her and when she returns her appearance is restored from whatever graffiti and defacement has occurred. This has been positively impossible to remove.

And your awareness has changed somewhat?

I've a bit of experience with dreams myself, so this is very interesting.

[Private]

[buildindreemz]

Yeah. I mean, once I learned to recognize when I'm in a dream.

And there are ways to know if you're in someone else's dream, too.

[Private]

[championoftime]

Such as what? [This is a problem he's not had, not being human.]

[Private]

[buildindreemz]

Well, we call them totems. [She digs her bishop out of her pocket to show it to him.] I've altered it, so only I know exactly how much it weighs in my hand. If I'm in someone else's dream, if it's there at all, it'll be wrong.

[Private]

[championoftime]

That's actually a brilliant idea. [Though he has no idea what he'd use, besides his umbrella. That might work. There are enough odd little additions only he would know.]

Oh, but perhaps that wouldn't work quite so well with me. [He's frowning thoughtfully.] We're a psychic race. If I were already that deeply connected with someone on a dream level, I could pass along an idea quite easily.

[Private]

[buildindreemz]

Ah, yeah that... I've only ever done it with... regular humans. I'm not sure how it might work with a psychic.

[She thinks about that for a moment.] Actually, do you think it would be possible for a psychic link to allow people to share a dream?

[Private]

[championoftime]

Of course. It's how Time Lords do it, though typically humans aren't psychically advanced enough to maintain that sort of connection with each other.

[Private]

[buildindreemz]

Could such a connection be maintained by someone else, who did have the ability?

[Private]

[championoftime]

They most assuredly could. When Frostmourne was unleashed over a year ago, all of the psychic's felt its affects. So it could be a person or an item.

[Private]

[buildindreemz]

Interesting.

I appreciate the information, Doctor.
