Like all Doctor Who spin-off media, its canonicity in relation to the television series is unclear.
[edit] Trivia
- The title is take from the 1799 Francisco Goya aquatint etching "El sueno de la razon produce monstruos" ("The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters"), part of the artist's Los Caprichos set.
- Day said on the Jade Pagoda discussion group [1] that the first chapter of The Sleep of Reason had originally been written for a non-Doctor Who novel proposal that was never completed. Day then adapted it for the Doctor Who format.
