====================================
Quotes
====================================
"Yeah, bit of a mistake. But look, what a result. Look at this bench. What a nice bench. What will they think of next? So. What do you do around here to stave off the, you know..." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"Blimey. Never dropped off like that before. Well, never, really. I'm getting on a bit, you see. Don't let the cool gear fool you." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"Listen to me. Trust nothing. From now on, trust nothing you see, hear or feel. Yeah, you're home. You're also dreaming. Trouble is, Rory, Amy, which is which? Are we flashing forwards or backwards? Hold on tight. This is going be a tricky one." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"Never use force. You just embarrass yourself. Unless you're cross, in which case, always use force." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

Rory: Okay, we're in a spaceship that's bigger on the inside than the outside.
Amy: With a bow tie-wearing alien.
Rory: So maybe what rings true isn't so simple.
Doctor: Valid point.

"Your dream wife, your dream job, probably your dream baby. Maybe this is your dream." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"Well, that took a while. Honestly, I'd heard such good things. Last of the Time Lords, the Oncoming Storm. Him in the bow tie." ~ The Dream Lord

"If you had any more tawdry quirks you could open up a Tawdry Quirk Shop. The madcap vehicle, the cockamamie hair, the clothes designed by a first-year fashion student. I'm surprised you haven't got a little purple space dog just to ram home what an intergalactic wag you are. Where was I?" ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"Now don't get jealous. He's been around, our boy. But never mind that. You've got a world to choose. One reality was always too much for you, Doctor. Take two and call me in the morning." ~ The Dream Lord

"I can't know everything. Why does everybody expect me to, always?" ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"There was an old doctor from Gallifrey, who ended up throwing his life away. He let down his friends and..." ~ The Dream Lord

"Drop it. Drop all of it. I know who you are. No idea how you can be here, but there's only one person in the universe who hates me as much as you do." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

"Oh, I love a good butcher's, don't you? We've got to use these places or they'll shut down. Oh, but you're probably a vegetarian, aren't you, you big flop-haired wuss." ~ The Dream Lord

"Here we go. My boys. My poncho boys. If we're going to die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band." ~ Amy Pond

"Oh, is that who you think you are? The one he trusts? The only girl in the universe to whom the Doctor tells everything? So what's his name?" ~ The Dream Lord

"Friends? Is that the right word for the people you acquire? Friends are people you stay in touch with. Your friends never see you again once they've grown up. The old man prefers the company of the young, does he not?" ~ The Dream Lord

"The darkness in you pair, it would've starved to death in an instant. I choose my friends with great care. Otherwise, I'm stuck with my own company, and you know how that works out." ~ The Eleventh Doctor

Trivia
====================================
The box under the TARDIS console the Doctor opens has the words: "TARDIS. Time And Relative Dimension In Space. Build Site: Gallifrey Blackhole Shipyard. Type 40. Build date: 1963. Authorised for use by qualified Time Lords only by the Shadow Proclamation. Misuse or theft of any TARDIS will result in extreme penalties and permanent exile." written on it.

This is the first story of Series 5 not to have any cracks, silence or foreshadowing of the finale.

The sign outside the old peoples' home reads "SARN Residential Care Home". The planet Sarn was the setting for Planet of Fire and Sarn was also the name of a character in Time and the Rani. (However, there is no on-screen evidence to suggest that there is any significance in this.) 

This is the only episode of Series 5 that is not referred to in any way later in the series.

The Doctor refers to throwing the TARDIS Instruction Manual into a supernova because he "disagreed with it". The Fourth Doctor had an instruction manual in The Pirate Planet and disagreed with it (even tearing a page out of it). It's assumed to be the same manual.

The Dream Lord taunts the Doctor with, "I bet you're a vegetarian!" in a butcher's shop and then by calling him "veggie", perhaps referring to his failed vegetarianism. This originated at the end of The Two Doctors, but he has since been seen many times to have lapsed (even ordering steak in Boom Town).

In the dreams, the Doctor wears both variations of his outfit. He wears the teal version in Upper Leadworth and his maroon version in the TARDIS.
