Apologies in advance because this summary is probably going to turn out REALLY poorly written. Evidently I’m an infinitely better writer in my sleep than when I’m awake. Also this is pretty long so I’ll put a TL;DR at the end for those of you who aren’t interested in my entire novel. Probably nobody cares about this but I didn’t know where else to post it. I only found this notable because it was REALLY long and detailed. I don’t think I’ve ever had a dream even close to this coherent before in my entire life;
UNIT was investigating a spate of mysterious deaths throughout the UK. People were being found dead and shrunk down to doll-size. They soon worked out, from records of previous encounters with the Master, that this was the work of the Master’s TCE, so they must be dealing with Missy here. Although this shortly became a moot point, since Missy at that point decided to reveal herself by appearing in live TV to murder people. Think like those irritating ‘breakfast’-type morning shows, Missy was crashing then and killing the hosts (I distinctly remember one line from this part; “Oh, honey, you’re stuck doing interviews with titles like “I Married a Ghost”, honestly I’m doing you a favour here”).
The (Capaldi) Doctor and Clara then arrive on Earth, attracted by these broadcasts. Missy, having heard that the Doctor was here, willingly gave herself up to UNIT custody, revealing that her whole plan all along was to act as ostentatiously as possible to draw to the Doctor to Earth. In other words, all those murders were because she wanted a chat with the Doctor. At this point, the Doctor realised that he had left his sonic screwdriver back in the TARDIS, and sent Clara back to get it while he spoke to Missy.
They had a philosophical conversation, where Missy reflected on all her elaborate Machiavellian schemes, and how the Doctor almost always foils her but how neither of them ever manage to finally defeat the other once and for all. They talk about this for a while, when suddenly Missy pulls some sort of device and presses a button on it. The Doctor demands to know what she did, and she reckless that she booby trapped the Doctor’s TARDIS and is about to send it into the Time Vortex to blow it up. The Doctor quickly tries to contact Clara using the earpiece he used in the Lodger to contact Amy, but it’s too late, the TARDIS has already dematerialised with Clara in it. He hears it exploded and the earpiece goes to static.
The Doctor demands Missy tell him why she killed Clara, but Missy simply replies that Clara is not dead. ‘Don’t you see?’ she says ‘your companions don’t just die, not like that. If they do go out they do so in a blaze of glory. They don’t just blow up. It’s against the rules. And I believe there are rules to this. I believe-‘
The Doctor stops listening to her and demands that UNIT just lock her up and don’t talk to her. However, shortly afterwards, the TARDIS rematerialises, still in one piece, with Clara inside it it, still doing fine, and it is revealed that the Doctor accidentally left the TARDIS parked out of temporal phase, so it didn’t really blow up.
Realising Missy was right about Clara being not really dead, the Doctor goes back to talk to her to ask her how she knew this. Missy again reiterates that the Doctor’s companions just simply never die in ways as simple as being blown up, and she’s been working on a theory for for a while. A theory that their whole world is fiction. She says it would explain how they keep running in to each other so much, which is unlikely for two people who can be anywhere in time and space, and would explain why they can never defeat each other, and why their adventure are structured like a story. She believes that they’re living in a TV show. The Doctor and Missy discuss this for a while, having a long, fourth-wall breaking conversation, which even directly mentions Michelle Gomez herself, Missy having a line saying ‘I’d like to be played by Michelle Gomez. I like her. She’s very funny. Especially the way that she begged for mercy when I threw her into an active volcano last week!’
After the Doctor leaves her cell, Missy calls over the the guard guarding her, and uses her ‘you will obey me’ routing to hypnotise the guard into opening the cell door, letting her out, and giving her his gun.
She runs out, and, holding Clara at gunpoint, reveals that the whole philosophical discussion thing was just a distraction, her real plan being to use the Doctor’s Styron energy to power her TARDIS, which had broken down. She threatens to shoot Clara if the Doctor doesn’t give her his artron energy to power her TARDIS, which will allow it to work again, but also mean the Doctor will lose the ability to regenerate. The Doctor tells the UNIT soldiers not to risk shooting back unless they mistakenly hit Clara, and is forced to agree, and Missy takes him to her TARDIS and tells him to do it. The Doctor begins to do it, but, ever since he went past 13 lives his regeneration energy has been incompatible with TARDISes, something he knew all along and was tricking Missy. Missy tries to shoot Clara but they are both thrown aside as Missy’s TARDIS begins to judder and shake, and the Doctor and Clara get out just before it dematerialises. The Doctor says that it won’t rematerialise again, trapping Missy is the time vortex.
The Doctor and Clara go back to their TARDIS, but the Doctor finds one of those Time Lord message cubes from The War Games left at the door. It’s from Missy. She tells him she escaped using her vortex manipulator, oh, and by the way she really DOES believe the world is fiction, and was bluffing when she said she was bluffing if you catch my drift. She ends her message with a goodbye the Doctor, and to everyone watching at home.
TL;DR: I dreamed of a fake Doctor Who episode where Missy develops the ability to break the fourth wall and summons the Doctor to Earth (via murders of course, in her unique way) for an existential discussion about how life isn’t real and they’re all living in a TV show. Dream is notable for being WAY more detailed than a regular dream, almost like an actual episode of the show.
