Title: Dreams Of Home

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: The Doctor, any incarnation.

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 013 – Gallifrey at dw100

Spoilers: General.

Summary: What does the Doctor dream about?

Disclaimer: I don’t own Doctor Who, or the characters.

Contrary to what his companions believe, the Doctor does sleep, he just does it when no one’s looking. Everybody needs sleep; it’s an unavoidable biological necessity, required for both psychological and physical heath. If you don’t sleep, you don’t dream, and dreams are important.

The Doctor’s seen so much in his travels. He dreams of many things, but most precious of all are his dreams of home. He sees Gallifrey as he remembers her best, the Citadel gleaming beneath its dome, the red grass and orange sky.

It’s so beautiful, so heartbreaking, that he wakes with tears in his eyes.

The End

I feel quite sad for the Doctor, what it must be like not to have a home, It must be so hard.

I can't imagine! Poor Doctor, but at least he sees home in his dreams. Thank you!

It's in his dreams that the Doctor can visit Gallifrey, so it's good to dream :*)

Indeed. He'd be devastated if he stopped dreaming of home.

Thank you!
