An interpretation of robot dreams

An interpretation of robot dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. Dreaming about a robot can mean that your life has become predictable, routine, and repetitive. For example, every day at work or school is the same old routine. You are like a machine. You’re expected to perform and conform. For example, a woman dreams about directing a robot at work, symbolizing her work in a call center where she follows a script and her answers are programmed. She feels like a robot. Robots can symbolize lack of humanity. They can express the feeling of being ground up by the machinery of society and treated like you don’t have feelings, dignity, or intrinsic value. Dreams about killer robots are known to express the perception of living in a world that lacks humanity, in a system that only wants conformity, which can kill off individuality, and that violates a primary reason that you’re alive in the first place. You’re here to fully live your life, not be a cog in the machine. This idea extends to any automated process, good or bad. Automation is for robots. A robot is a ready-made analogy for a person who doesn’t show emotion, or for a feeling of being dead inside. However, as robots get more human-like, they can be used as symbols for someone who pretends to be normal and show emotion. That symbolic use can connect with a sense that something isn’t quite right, or isn’t an exact copy. For example, you run across your ex, who’s now dating a younger version of you, and dream that your ex built a robot in your image. The idea can expand to capture the feeling and perception that people aren’t acting human or in ways expected. For example, a spouse acts differently and you can’t quite put your finger on why. A friend who is normally warm and responsive is suddenly distant. A co-worker gives answers that don’t make sense. Turn this idea on its ear and a dream can use it to show the spark of life within you, the resistance to conformity, the love of nature. See also: Computers, Dolls
