There had been a revolution - the AI computer in the school had attained awareness and had taken control.

A rebel alliance was trying to overthrow the revolution - to turn off the computer leader. There were several teams of two or three. One of them contained R2D2 and C3P0 ... one of the freedom fighters, a young tech-savvy woman, kept calling them something like "education providing modules".

The Doctor was sealed in his TARDIS. All of his incarnations present at the same time, arguing with one another and trying to break free. They needed someone on the outside, but they couldn't get through.

We teleported into the school, each team to a separate location. I was with my husband, who had been in charge of the computer before it went rogue.

The halls were in ruins, the walls tumbling down. Some sentries approached, we hid. To our great surprise, the mobile unit of the Master Computer was with the sentries. He *knew* my husband was coming, wanted to capture him personally. He looked right at him in our hiding place and didn't see either of us.

We managed to get to the gathering spot, only to discover that all of our teams had been captured and were wearing the slave collars that controlled their thoughts. The tech-savvy female injected both droids with strings of random numbers to disrupt their ability to reason. The Master Computer was sitting down on his throne ... assuming his more powerful sessile construction - it looked like a transformer with several faces indicating the many functions it was controlling. The last face on the row, the smallest one, was that of my husband.

The one gleam of hope was the Doctor, and he was managing to contact a young girl thinking that it was me but she had no idea what was going on. The Master Computer had blocked all memory of the Doctor on those wearing the slave collars, so there was no one to tell the children who he was.

=============

I suspect that the dream was triggered by the recent infestation of AI art into one of the facebook groups I subscribe to combined with some thoughts I've been having about the meaning of an old Gaelic story about a woman who calls on her Good Neighbours for help and ends up being overwhelmed by them.

I was taking a vacation, alone and incognito, on a sight-seeing train with a group of random tourists. Everything was going fine; we had already made several stops and were traveling on the empty moors - enjoying the scenery - when the schedule was disrupted and we were informed that we would spend more time on the moors than expected. Then the train stopped. Somehow, we found out that there was a strange illness affecting the world - people were dropping down dead in the streets after showing few or no symptoms - and the tour authorities were trying to figure out where to divert us so that we would avoid it ... but their personnel were also being affected and there were few to deal with the number of trains out.

As time went by, there were fewer and fewer stewards available - they were ill or dead. The engines were off, we were stranded.

I walked into the dining car to find that someone had wrenched a window open (no engine, no central air or fans?) and my fellow tourists were examining a bug that had flown in. It was a strange looking bug and when I looked at it, it ... flared in my sight.

Suddenly, I was the Doctor and I knew it was an alien creature and the source of the illness/deaths and that everyone onboard the train was now in danger. I took over and began giving orders - not that I remember any of them now.

I do recall that there was one very young man - mid-teens - who tried to leave the train and walk off into the moors. He had taken the tour because he was in love with a young lady on the train but she never even noticed him. He was well wrapped up for some particular reason, completely covered with no skin showing. I convinced him to stay because for whatever reason it was that he was dressed like that, he was our best hope of survival.

I am grateful that my subconscious has created protections against nightmares because this should have been a terrifying and frightening one triggered by the Hell House game last night.

Oh, and for the record, I was Doctor Ten.
