Dreams Turn to Nightmares

This story begins with the Doctor, Polly, and Ben having lost their memories and trapped in a dystopian situation where they spend their days turning the wheels and pulling the levers of some kind of machine and then allowed to dream at night once their shifts are over.

Our heroes are enlisted by some rebellious Doradans seeking freedom from their overlords who are brains in tanks with some vestigial tentacles. One of the rebels has his brain burst before the Doctor and his companions are convinced to kill the Brain Masters by cutting off their oxygen supply.

I liked how the story begins in media res and the vaguely Phildickian nature of our heroes' predicament.
