Underground city? That's cool-- Australia you've been holding out on us! Or maybe that's from a Mad Max movie I haven't seen. Oh and they also have opals and reddish soil. I really ought to know more considering I spent a few years listening to books on Australia. Problem was, they weren't audio books, they were regular books.
I just woke up from yet another dream in which I'm standing in the middle of a maze of parallel and/or intersecting train tracks, someplace where humans aren't supposed to be, where it's extremely dangerous, where any moment a train can appear from nowhere, and you can't tell just from looking down whether you're on the track that the oncoming train is on, so you don't know which way to run, or if you should.
The earlier dream I mentioned where Clocket was in it-- I didn't mention, probably, that since I have no clue whatsoever what she looks like, she was a sort of ghostly presence-- I mean, my brain knew she was standing there, but didn't require a visual image of her for me to know that fact. You know how your dreaming mind can program itself to accept practically anything? Well, in this case, Clocket was present and it just didn't matter that I still had no visual for her despite the fact that she was right there. Or, it's possible that she was just offscreen, I suppose, but I don't think so.
She didn't have a large role in the proceedings-- sorry Clocket. You were one of a few people in a group I was in. Still, you turned up, and you didn't have to, so thanks!

Ok, Paul Cornell has posted a few Who-related dreams that he's had on Twitter, and a couple are related to some of the conversations that we have been having here. This makes me wonder 2 things: 1. Could he be writing scripts for the show? (I hope, I hope.) 2. Could he be the mysterious +1 from Doctor Who Live? (I don't really think this, but it would be squeeful.)
dreamed last night that Colin Baker made me a really lovely cake.
dreamt last night that Patrick Troughton stole my hat, and ran off down the street with it, waving his arms in the air.
dreamed last night that Peter Davison was disappointed in me. He precisely slapped my cheek with a small radish.
dreamed last night that Tom Baker asked me if I'd like a jelly baby. 'Yes,' I said. 'Well,' he said, 'you can't have one.'
dreamt last night that Jon Pertwee stole my bicycle and pedalled off, yelling it was urgent. I heard later it had been disintegrated.
had a dream last night where William Hartnell vastly overcharged me for a hotel room. His bluster makes conning people easy, the old fox.

...
I am now convinced that he's been spying on the cake thread. Okay, which one of you +1s is famous in disguise?

I knew it! Well, it's better than +1 turning out to be the man from the Beeb slowly collecting evidence against us, I guess...

So... I'm definitely going through SJA withdrawals, because last night I was dreaming about it..
except then Ten turned up again, and Wilf, and Wilf was totally a Time Lord...
And we all went for a ride on a 4x4 at some point. Yeah...
EDIT: I was reading the back posts on this and noticed Poetry's new icon, and it is awesome. I think I've also got a craving.

Precision radish-slapping is a lost art.
I envy LL for her packed night of Who dreaming. Were these like comedy "blackouts", short moments that come one after another rapid-fire? Anyway, all these incidents must be parts of a centuries-long intricate plan on the Doctor(s)'s part, though the common thread is a little hard to figure out.
I don't know about the +1 thing yet...

Well... how's this for WTF:
Last night I woke up singing, and had to write down the lyrics or a dragon would eat me, or something. I assumed this was all a dream, but apparently some part of me was awake because there are some really BAD emo song lyrics scribbled onto a bit of paper beside my bed now.
head!desk
really, really bad....

Oohhhh! I am so glad to hear that I'm not the only one! There was this one time when I had a vivid dream about teaching a classroom of 10-year olds, with a blackboard and the alphabet on the wall and so on...
Then the lesson somehow degraded into me teaching them an impromptu rap song while we all skipped in a large circle. The lyrics were something about teakettles and amputation and how if we built a brick wall then the Black Death wouldn't get us. It was vitally important to memorize it.
I only got a couple sentences down upon waking up, though. And when I went back and re-read them, it said something about a car being missing and was followed by a couple of pretty Fail rhyming phrases.
...so... you gonna tell us more about these awful lyrics? XD Now I'm curious.

Er... just keep in mind that it's terribly emo and I'm kind of ashamed of my subconscious. Also, I'm pretty damn sure that if at least half of these lyrics aren't ripped off of someone else then the tune is. What can I say? Dream me likes to plagiarize. Also, this is kind of creepy/ stalkerish. Erm... You know I've got a thousand years under my skin, maybe more Please don't crucify me for these urges I can't control 'Cause there's a wilderness (scribble: around inside? down my side?) waiting to rise up and fight It's not everyday that we seize (scribble: these things? waiting?) to drive us apart
I'll wait here, standing alone by a streetlamp, I'll wait here, beside your car in the snow, I'll wait here, even if you can't understand it, I'll wait here, until it's time to ---... right, I can't right out any more of this. It's kind of hard to read anyways. But um... yeah. I don't know. I remember writing it, so I guess I was awake-ish, but, um...

Aaaaa! Your subconscious is a stalllkker... XD (or maybe channelling the spirit of some dead 10Rose shipper). This amuses me to no end.
Still, I'm gonna google the lyrics. If some of them aren't plagiarized, then you could have the beginnings of a very cool song there... *pulls out Music Theory textbook*
Oh yes. And my fic is bleeding into my dreams. Five and I got stranded in a city on an alien planet (the city looked remarkably like my apartment complex, only about 50x taller, with neon and catwalks) and were captured by bedouin who lived in tents beneath the city. There was steamed eggplant (from the school cafeteria), and something about plastic boxes being the work of the devil. Then we escaped with the help of some dragon-people and ended up in the set of Get Smart...
Woke up craving cookies.
Now, let's see about making something useful of that song... ;D

That sounds like an awesome dream. I especially like the plastic boxes bit, and the idea of tents under sky scrapers twists my bunnies (which really sound quite wrong now that I've typed it out)
I think the song sprung out because I'd been reading New Moon before bed (doing a project on modern representations of vampires and how they reflect on society... and increasingly regretting it). So, Monsieur Stalker himself apparently bled into my mind.
I stopped writing it out because the next verse was all: I'm sitting beside you and you'll never know...
O.o

the idea of tents under sky scrapers twists my bunnies (which really sound quite wrong now that I've typed it out) I feel like some quip should follow, like "Clocket, can I have your bunnies?"... but I'm pretty sure that if we follow that line of thought too far in a non-fanfic-jargon-literal sense (does that even make sense?)... i e "innuendo", the universe would probably implode upon the imbalance in the negative force of awkward. </cracknobabble> While that was initially creepy, I suddenly had a thought of how you could take that line and turn it into a sad, sweet song about a dead parent watching their child grow up without them and how proud of them they are or something.

I dreamed a new installment in my ongoing UNIT 1980s saga last night, which involved fighting under stressful and noisy conditions as something tried to get in ... and then there was loud music, before I awoke to find that there was indeed very loud music coming from next door. Aargh. (Oh, the joy of living in a small terraced house when yr neighbour gets drunk and plays the same song over and over for at least an hour. The night before the book festival - and it hasn't happened for ages!) I'm still slightly intrigued about the UNIT thing, but I don't think it actually made sense and I'm sure the Season 7 Brigadier was in it, which is wrong. ;D

If giving Jack Harkness a big bear hug, is a miracle, then I don't know what is. I think I had the same issue of immortality, and finally realised we could live forever, he fell in love with me. No, seriously. I had the dream a few weeks ago, and I could not get any happier than that I was grinning like a lunatic for the entire day.

I was dreaming about K9 last night...I don't remember what he was doing exactly, just...being K9, I guess...
Well, I didn't say it was an exciting dream, did I? ;D

Last one I remember was Tarantino-y. There were a couple of violent situations I stumbled into, the second an armed robbery, and I had to decide whether to play along and pretend I was on their side, or run away screaming and waving my arms in the air like a sissy.

Last night, I dream't the end of the world. Maybe due to all the 2012 hype from the movie, but it was kind of depressing. One by one, people started to drop dead on that date, and by the end of the day, there was only a handful of people left in the world, including me. But then, we started to 'drop dead', and when I was the last one standing, the dream ended.

I dreamt about Primsong last night! ;D (And Persiflage, off my f-list on LJ.) I've no idea what we were doing. I just remember that I woke up, thinking "I've just had my first dream featuring someone from Dby A!"
So not very exciting, really. I think we were possibly trying to set something up, probably book festival related.
And, JJ, you dreamt about K9?? *sulks* My only DW related dreams ever was one about Mel and one about Davros. (Davros was downstairs in our dining room and my parents were going to plug him in and power him up - don't ask, okay, apparently he had an extension lead that plugged into the socket nicely - and I couldn't convince them that this was a bad idea!) Other than that I keep getting Star Trek dreams, which is unfair, cos it's my housemate who watches Star Trek.

Davros with an extension lead...oh dear... ;D K9 is possibly the only proper Who-related dream I've ever had, apart from that very vivid, very strange Harry Sullivan one I detail somewhere further up the thread (I think!). I've had more Star Trek dreams than Who dreams, including something rather disturbing featuring the original-series Scotty, but I won't go into that here...
