** When one of the old people is attacking the campervan, he is just clawing at the glass, yet for some reason the driver doesn't just close the door, instead reacting like the old man is actually pulling on it when he clearly isn't.

Justifying edit - also, the "Dreams" clearly do not operate on dream logic, being closer to Lotus Eater Machines or mini-realities than a true dream.


** Then again, [[spoiler: it ''is'' a dream after all. Dreams don't work on real-world logic, and anyone will tell you that something as basic as falling over in a dream can be enough to "kill" you. As such, a very minor car crash would definitely still be enough to wake them up if they were sure it was only a dream.]]

* CaptainObviousReveal: Many fans thought that TheReveal that both versions of "reality" are illusions created by the Dream Lord was far too predictable, given that too many aspects of the "Upper Leadworth" dream fall under LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt, which in turn means that the TARDIS dream can't be real either because that would be too obvious a conclusion to draw (it also doesn't help that the "cold star" is a massive example of ArtisticLicensePhysics even by the show's usual standards, which even the Doctor lampshades at the end).
