Also, exactly what is Daniel/the Doctor trying to do anyway? I haven't seen all that much of Doctor Who, so... Yeah.

Oh. My bad, I assumed you were familiar with the whole canon. 

Basically Time Lords have this ability to link minds with other people (apparently works on both Time Lords and humans). The Doctor's only used it a couple of times in-canon, but so far it's been revealed that he can view memories, suppress memories, and when a human was infested with an alien parasite in her brain partially controlling her, he could give all control to the parasite so that he could talk to it directly. That's kind of where the idea came from. I'd hoped to try this for a while. :D
