Chapter 10 Dream analysis

Doctor, help me!

Rose's eyes opened her eyes with a start before she sat up and tried to reorient herself. Rose breathed in deeply as she tried to slow her rapid heartbeat. She rubbed at her bloodshot eyes and realized that it felt like she hadn't slept at all. Rose got up, feeling far too awake to go back to sleep.

Rose slid on her shoes and headed for the exit, intending to walk off the adrenaline. She tried to find the root of her nightmares as she wandered the dim halls of the temple. Rose narrowed her eyes when she sensed that someone come up behind her. She made a sudden turn and came face-to-face with the Doctor, who offered her a warm smile. His smile faded into a frown at the tired, anxious look on Rose's face.

"What's wrong?"

Rose tried to hide the look of panic in her eyes as she said,"It's nothing, I've been having nightmares is all. I'm sure they'll pass."

"How long have these been happening?"

Rose sighed and said,"The severe nightmares started a few days ago, but I've been waking up in a vague panic for a week or so."

The Doctor thought for a minute before he said,"Maybe your subconscious is trying to tell you something." Rose thought hard for a few minutes in search of anything that would bother her. She shook her head.

"I can't think of anything."

The Doctor's face lit up."I have an idea. There's something I could try that would help get to the root of the problem, but it would involve me rummaging around inside your head."

"I don't know, let me sleep on it. I'll let you know in the morning," Rose said as she stifled a yawn.

The Doctor nodded."Ok. In the mean time, I hope you sleep better. Goodnight, Rose."

"'Night, Doctor," Rose said before she turned and headed toward her room.

Rose found herself in one of the large hallways again. Only, she found, it was daylight and it wasn't the Doctor that walked next to her. Anakin smiled at her in a way that made his eyes light up. He was about to say something when an explosion further up the hallway interrupted him.

Before Rose could blink, Anakin was off and running. She followed as he drew his lightsaber. The Doctor ran up to Rose just as an odd noise filled the area. By the time recognition set in, it was too late to warn Anakin of what awaited him on the other side of the smoke.

"It happened again," Rose said as she walked into the Doctor's room.

The Doctor looked up from the datapad he was reading. "You had another nightmare."

Rose nodded and sat down in the chair across from him. "I want to know why I keep having them."

The Doctor scooted his chair closer. "Before I do this, you might wand to think about the nightmares and anything related to them. That way I won't get any surface thoughts or things you don't want me to see."

After a few minutes Rose leaned forward and nodded. The Doctor placed his hands at Rose's temples. They both closed their eyes and took deep breaths as the Doctor entered Rose's mind.

The Doctor appeared in a corner in the Jedi Temple. He looked around in an effort to find Rose. The Doctor heard laughter from up the hall and went to investigate. He took off at a run when he realized it was Rose. The Doctor frowned when he saw that Rose wasn't alone.

"I wonder what she's doing with him?" the Doctor asked himself as he stared at Anakin. He glanced at Rose and started to feel agitated. The Doctor could see something in Rose's eyes, an emotion that used to be directed at him more often than not. He heaved a heavy sigh when he looked at Anakin and realized that he returned her feelings. Just as the Doctor tried to decide how best to give Rose a piece of his mind, an explosion interrupted his train of thought.

He watched as Rose and Anakin reacted to the commotion up the hall and wondered what the cause was. Anakin ran toward the noise. The Doctor felt odd as he watched himself run up to Rose. Then a thought dawned on him as to what the noise was.

"Cybermen in the Temple." Before the Doctor could see anymore, the dream ended. The Temple dissolved away and was replaced with darkness. The darkness, in turn, was replaced with a scene further into a possible future.

The room he appeared in had an empty, depressive feel to it. The Doctor looked around the room in an effort to find out where he was. From the layout of the room he could tell that he was in someone's bedroom. The balcony outside told him that it was a flat, and a quick glance out the window confirmed that it was on a high floor.

A thought occurred to the Doctor and in an instant he started looking around for anything that would tell him who lived there. He found a single holopic sitting on the nightstand. The Doctor picked it up.

A man in Jedi robes stood with his arm around a blonde in an intricate lace dress. The Doctor was in a state of disbelief over the fact that he held Rose's wedding picture in his hand. His hearts sank into his shoes when he saw that it was Anakin in the holopic and not him. The Doctor slammed the holopic down on the table and stomped toward the door. The bedroom disappeared, then the Doctor faded into the black that remained.
