What does it mean to dream about robot?

A mechanical, often human-like creature in a dream, symbolizing an alienated, automated part of the personality or the fear of losing humanity.

A robot archetypally symbolizes alienation from one's own living, spontaneous nature — a part of the psyche operating mechanically, without genuine feeling or presence. Its appearance in a dream can reflect a current feeling of operating 'on autopilot' in certain areas of life.

What it might feel like

anxiety, alienation, sometimes curiosity
