Howling:What was in the Doctor's room in God Complex?

I was watching this episode again today and started thinking about what was in his room, so I've been looking for some theories on what was in his room but nobody's said mine so I thought I'd throw it out there. I think he saw David Tennant (himself as 10) having sex with Rose. Here's why. Every room isn't necessarily the person's greatest fear; they always refer to the things in the rooms as "bad dreams." I mostly think this because as he leaves, he puts the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door, which sort of signals something is going on inside he wouldn't want anybody else to see. This seems like it would logically be his worst dream because of how in love with Rose he is, but didn't get to be with her even though she got to be with him. Has anybody else thought of this?
 * Please sign your posts. Thanks. I'm actually surprised you listened to me. Anyways, on topic: Did you notice the cloister bell in the background? It sounds when there's a danger in the TARDIS. Let's go through what we know: the person who hates the Doctor the most is himself. His worst fear could be what he thinks he may become, as he's becoming more and more ruthless, that he'll slowly turn evil (ie. Valeyard) Or it could be himself alone, meaning that Ponds will have gone (ie. his worst fear is losing the people closest to him - it certainly has an impact on him as shown in The Snowmen). It could be him dying, or watching River have to go through killing him. The possibilities are endless. What are other theories that you've come across?

I think it was in Mind of Evil, though I could be remembering wrong, that there was a similar concept where there was a machine or something which made people see their worst fears or something like that. When the Doctor was affected, one could see fire and hear the Daleks screaming "exterminate!" Maybe, building on that, the Doctor's worst dream now would have something to do with the Daleks and destroying his planet. It could be seeing the Daleks having killed someone he loved, or the devastation that happened on his own planet because of the Daleks happening on another planet, maybe his beloved Earth. Anyway, I expect it to have something to do with the Daleks and/or the Time War. I really don't think it would be Rose and Meta-Ten... y'know. This is a family show and website.

 * Interesting thought, actually. I didn't think of the Time War. But I still think it has more to do with his future than with his past. I like my earlier idea of himself becoming evil and destroying worlds himself (a stretch of the choices he makes now - destroying one group to save another). He didn't seem particularly happy to find that "doctor" means "mighty warrior" in a lot of languages. Eleven's slowly slipping into a "Time Lord Victorious" phase. He's turning darker. He's afraid he's making the wrong choices and he's afraid that in the future he'll have an even bigger choice to make and he'll make the wrong decision.

It's probably something to do with losing companions. Note how he drops Amy and Rory off back on Earth after this adventure, like he saw the loss of his companions coming. 94.72.235.63talk to me 16:57, January 28, 2013 (UTC)

Maybe it was Adric. Bit of a nightmare for so many reasons. --89.241.64.101talk to me 03:37, January 29, 2013 (UTC)

Well, that all depends on how one sees Adric in said nightmare. Maybe The Doctor saw Adric surviving?

In all seriousness, though, I'm sure it's to do with losing companions. Or maybe he saw himself? 94.72.235.63talk to me 16:30, January 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * Which is pretty much my suggestion. Himself, or what he thinks he is, or what he thinks he'll become. SmallerOnTheOutside ☎  04:47, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
