Just posted it actually. Though I warn you, it's specifically about irrational fears and phobias and how Clara's words might lead to certain dynamics in later episodes. The subject hits close to home and it was difficult for me to sweep it under the carpet. We all come to the table with different things. Will check out your post, but might not get there until tomorrow. (Shouldn't be here right now...)
I was thinking specifically of the "monster under the bed" fear, which Clara unwittingly gave a body to and which lead to the Doctor running around like a maniac during the whole episode. Which is actually a big deal for someone who hasn't a time machine to investigate the origin of said irrational fear. Oh I see! Sorry. Yes. 'Everyone has the exact same dream.' She certainly keeps being monster'd, and I can't work out where they're going with it. (Her first appearance was as a Dalek. With Carmen as soundtrack... *points to icon*)
I am really interested in your reading of Clara as Clara though. I hit my forehead and said "Of course, Coal hill teacher." And we might get Danny too, as Ian. (Does Clara double up as Barbara AND Susan? Things are not quite clear...)
Even the little harsh quips they have for one another. I really need to pay better attantion!
Maybe we'll see Clara in a sweater! She already had a cute cardigan. I'm sure some artists already illustrated the parallel somewhere. If not, well, I must sharpen my pencil. Oooooh, I look forward to that!
