The world's gone to the (robot) dogs!

Two dreams last night.
#1: I was walking into town and came across a bridge over a mighty river (neither is there in real life). I was not allowed to cross without chaining myself to the safety rail with a rock-climbing harness.
#2: A dream of two parts. First I was climbing some rickety old stairs and got my foot caught. I figured out I would need someone to brace my shoulder if I was to free it without falling down the stairs. An old friend I don't think about much happened to come along with some guy and she braced my shoulder for me.
At the top of the stairs there was a girl whose name I knew in the dream to be Lydia. She was talking to a white cube with a black robot eye in the middle. After a while she left and I decided to introduce myself to the cube. Here's a transcript of the conversation:
Me: hello
Cube: hello
Me: you're the first of your kind that I've encountered
Cube: likewise
Me: what about Lydia?
Cube: she's a golden retriever.
Me: what about those two over there?
Cube: they are all golden retrievers.
I left feeling a bit stressed out over the conversation and met up with a few androids. Can't remember what I did or talked about with them though.
