This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.

Previous Story: Son of the Dragon

While I've had a lot of praise for the historicals of this run, the same can't be said for the sci-fi stories. Dreams are an interesting idea to explore but by now it's been done so often and so much better that it leaves this story feeling a bit generic. It doesn't really do anything that makes it stand out. If the dream-worlds had been more explored perhaps I would've liked this story more, maybe instead of revealing what was happening so early on this story could've kept up the mystery of these completely different scenarios all happening at once. The side characters were bland and I didn't really care for either Erimem or Peri's dreams in this story. At most this story sets up Erimem's departure but even then I think previous stories have done it better.

Next Story: The Bride of Peladon
