Howling:Where is the Barn?

Watching The Day of the Doctor I got the impression the Barn wasn't on Gallifrey, also from when the Moment asked the Doctor how many children were on Gallifrey, but of course she could've asked that while they were on Gallifrey. I just didn't get that from the desert setting, which I didn't think Gallifrey would have. I figured the Doctor hid on another planet away from the Daleks ("didn't want them finding out") and also the Time Lords.

So where is the Barn? Because, we assume it's on Gallifrey because of the man and woman (the Doctor's parents Ulysses and Penelope Gate?) mentioning the Academy and becoming a Time Lord, so both we the audience and Clara assume we're with the Doctor as a young boy, which is especially cemented when she grabs his leg. But unlike other opportunities in the new series for "we didn't see this, so it's not guaranteed" this one actually got me thinking. For the "dream" and Clara telling a young boy about being afraid and strength and giving him a toy soldier, what if it's not the Doctor? Steed ☎  02:48, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

I personally think the barn wasn't on Gallifrey. But most likely that child was the Doctor. 213.249.213.20talk to me 11:22, September 16, 2014 (UTC)
