* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Due to the presence of the tangerine on the windowsill at the end, and the still-dreamlike nature of the scene in which Clara agrees to rejoin the Doctor, ''and'' the fact Clara's home in the final scene does not match in any way her flat as seen in Series 8 and 9, it's been suggested that the shared dream was still under way as the episode ended and the ''entirety'' of Series 9 (complete with its fourth wall breaking and nightmarish series finale) was itself a dream. For all we know, the ''entire show'' following this episode might be an extended hallucination!

** Danny says that he didn't die to save the world, he died to save Clara and everyone else just got lucky. While this is conceivably something the real Danny might say, it's worth bearing in mind this isn't the real Danny, it's Clara's dream version of Danny--and Clara is explicitly stated in other episodes to be a narcissist.

*** Santa appeared first to the Doctor in the preceding episode's [[TheStinger Stinger]], meaning Twelve was already in trouble then.. [[FromBadToWorse Even worse]], the planet the Doctor keeps waking up on as he sheds the various dream layers is the planet he had conducted Clara's SecretTestOfCharacter on in "Dark Water" (even though ''it'' was only in Clara's mind, too!). Just how long were he and Clara actually under their influence?
